not talking about the action im talking about the word itself  and how you say it



But doesn't feed also mean drink sometimes?

because force-feed is actually one word and refers to both solid and liquid substances.
force drink is what a jedi does on a friday night

thank you

because, currently, there is no word to give liquids to something else. there's "drench" but it's not used that way anymore, so if you were to use it, no one would understand.
the closest thing is the phrase to "feed and water" something but that almost exclusively applies to animals.
i suppose one could force-suckle another person but that implies that the other person is doing some kind of suction and sounds real dirty

force drench implies you pour the liquid not force to drink
