A smash is an action that involves breaking or hitting something forcefully.
When we use the word "smash", we often talk about physical actions. For example, if someone breaks a plate on the floor, they have given it a smash. If you hit a tennis ball with all your might, that's also a smash. We can even say that a storm is causing a smash in the neighborhood by knocking over trees and causing damage. Sometimes, we use "smash" to describe a big success or achievement, like when a team scores a goal in an important game – it was a smashing victory!
