A harpoon is a type of barbed spear attached to a rope, used in fishing and hunting large sea mammals (seal, walrus, whale). Harpooned is the past tense. The hunter quickly harpooned the seal. It is also slang for crushing an idea or suggestion, much as if it were popped with a real harpoon. He harpooned the idea of going to the movies, since we were all broke.
