Curb-stomp

Curb-stomping is a violent assault in which the attacker forces the victim to lie down prone on the street and "bite the curb" (i.e., head face-down on the curb, with mouth opened so teeth contact the curb), following which the attacker stomps on the back of the victim's head resulting in crushed teeth, a broken jaw and/or skull, and possibly death. Curb-stomping is heavily associated with Neo-Nazi gangs. This assault is also known as curbing, a Russian mouthwash, the dental plan, a curby, a curb job, or The Ikari.
