BEATING THE CRAP
Dear Teachers,
1. It's a teen-targeted movie. You've got rich kids running around in massive mansions driving expensive cars, but that's just the setting. You've got people beating the crap out of each other. But that's just the plot device.
- What does "beating the crap out of each other" mean in this situation?
Thanks very much!

It's a somewhat vulgar expression. '****' is a euphemism for sh*t; the entire construction is also hyperbole, as we don't really beat anything out of anyone.
