Charlie Puth

I was bit by a dog when I was two years old, and it almost mauled my face. It almost killed and/or blinded me. I was this close to dying at two, which is terrible. I survived it, and there was no head trauma or anything like that. Honestly, it was a miracle.

The noun 'maul' is a specific type of hammer, often confused with a general hammer.

Tool Specificity

Mauls are heavy and used for tasks requiring a lot of force, like splitting wood.

Heavy Duty

Despite its appearance, the noun 'maul' refers to a tool, not a weapon.

Not a Weapon

This verb form metaphorically suggests something is ruined or significantly harmed.

Metaphorical Damage

Used to describe harsh, possibly unfair criticism, often by media or critics.

Criticism Context

Unlike the first definition, this usage is non-physical and relates to reputation.

Not Physical

 they're not out there to kill people to hurt people to maul people they're only aggressive when they feel threatened and so if you change a situation so that they can understand that you're not a threat to them you're usually fine but fair right number one yeah absolutely and that's I think that's a really important note
