lapider
- to stone; to lapidate (pelt with stones)
- (informal, figurative) to attack verbally
- 1972, Charles Aznavour (lyrics and music), “Comme ils disent”, in Idiote, je t'aime…:
- Et là on s’en donne à cœur-joie / Et sans complexe / On déballe des vérités / Sur des gens qu’on a dans le nez / On les lapide / Mais on le fait avec humour / Enrobé dans des calembours / Mouillés d’acide
