In another thread Alfonso used the word throttle to mean something like strangle. I had never heard the word used this way before. Now I just came across a newspaper article that uses it in a similar way. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is this a British English usage?
But one day last week, I wanted to throttle a Yank-in-uniform and I think for a split-second he considered killing me too. He, however, had a machine gun.From http://www.thestar.com/News/World/article/439099
What do you think the reporter meant by throttle?
