bombard

An attack or barrage with strong or intense things like words, objects, or ideas can be called a bombard. You might see this word used to describe verbal insults or even criticism on social media.

The word "bombard" often refers to something that's thrown at you strongly and repeatedly – whether it's criticism, jokes, or just a lot of talk. Imagine someone yelling insults at you nonstop; that could be a bombard of words. On the internet, if people are sending you mean messages in quick succession, that's also an example of a bombard. It can even be used for attacks on your ideas – imagine being bombarded with questions or opposing views when trying to explain something.
