True. These days, though, the natural continuation of the phrase "I neutralized" would be " ... the motherf***cker by ..." which may not be the effect the OP is seeking.Ricky– Ricky2017-03-25 18:22:03 +00:00Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 18:22

2Hey @Ricky. I just learned something new from your comments. Could you please tell me where can I find more on such usage? Is it a slang?vickyace– vickyace2017-03-25 18:30:55 +00:00Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 18:30

1I think this lacks the subjective, emotional content that the question appears to call for.Kevin Mark– Kevin Mark2017-03-25 22:55:18 +00:00Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 22:55

5Neutralize is the perfect word for this but you can see in the example that its becoming an euphemism for "killing" more and more. ("The army neutralized the threat" : probably killed someone with a drone)Jylo– Jylo2017-03-27 12:13:32 +00:00Commented Mar 27, 2017 at 12:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
