Lambaste is a verb meaning to attack severely, either physically or verbally. It can be spelled with or without the ‘e’. Lambaste is more common, though the dictionary will list lambast.
It may be pronounced /lamˈbāst/(lam bayst) or /lamˈbast/ (lam baast). The noun form is lambasting.
The term ‘land blasted’ is incorrect and should not be used.
