'Whale the tar out of someone' nghĩa là đánh đòn ai đó (to spank or beat someone; beat the living daylights out of someone).

Ví dụ
I'll whale the tar out of you when we get home if you don't settle down.

I have to go along with it ‘cos some of these blokes are built like brick shithouses and they’d whale the tar out of me if they thought I was taking the piss.

It’s time to stop ducking the elephant in the room – that animal-rights extremists are actually the biggest threat to animals – and whale the tar out of those hell-bent (khăng khăng/nhất quyết làm điều gì bất chấp hậu quả, cố chấp) on disenfranchising future generations.
