Etymology 3
From, influenced by. in Australian English.

According to Ian Chappell, originated in Adelaide during the 1963/4 or 1964/5 Sheffield Shield season. A cricketer who swore in the presence of a woman was taken to be as subtle as a sledgehammer (meaning unsubtle) and was called “Percy” or “Sledge”, from singer Percy Sledge (whose song When a Man Loves a Woman was a hit at the time). Directing insults or obscenities at the opposition team then became known as sledging.

Verb

 * 1)  To verbally insult or abuse an opponent in order to distract them (considered unsportsmanlike).

Noun

 * 1)  An instance of sledging.
