hisfurrymajestythefirst commented on the word sockdolager
Sockdolager would have to be a humorous corruption of DOXOLOGY, one meaning of which refers to an expression which forms the final statement in a Christian prayer, such as "glory be to the father, and to the son . . ", or "as it was in the beginning, is now . . " etc. So, it means 'the last word', the words after which no more words are said and by extension, the conclusive deed.
