What is the difference between I'll smash your hatch and drag you out. and I'll crush your hatch and drag you out. ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (US)
They both mean the same thing, but crush and smash make imagine a slightly different scene.
Crush seems to leave the hatch crumpled and concave, like a soda can. Smash sounds like it was broken apart or burst through.

@HebrewDaneA hatch is another word for door in this case, though it may be a door in the ceiling/floor and require turning a valve or 'dogs' (more jargon, little individual arms that block a door to help it resist potentially huge pressure from flooding) to open. It's old naval terminology.

@Doni_G thank you. I didn't know what it meant. I've heard of like a hatch on a ship but it didn't seem to fit in this context
