The term "mammocked up" or "beat & mammocked" is a term used in the rural south that means to beat up or damage something or someone in some way that is unacceptable in a civilized society (a Southern euphamism). Someone who has abused or beat up someone or something like an animal or inanimate object. A Middle English dialect that is rapidly dying out especially in the Southeastern USA (NC & SC). I have heard my grandparents use this word many times. They were from Horry Co., SC (SC Lowcountry).
