How to use "Steamroll" in context?
When a team dominates its opponents, it is said to have steamrolled them. This term is often used in association with gaming or sports contexts, where a team has overcome its opponents so decisively that the opponents are not capable of mounting a successful challenge. The term is derived from roller skate slang, in which a steamroller is a particularly powerful skateboard. To steamroll an opponent is to overwhelming and tire them out so they can not compete, often through use of superior numbers, skill, or strategy.
