i read this sentences on the book, 'ping : a frog in search of a new pond'.
Ping experienced the world like he had never experienced it before - a world of failure and setback, unkind and uncaring. What a crusher.
i know what is the 'crusher'. it's a big equipment to crush something in small pieces. But i can't understand what does it mean' what a crusher.' is that mean ping was really shocked? because he's experiencing what he'd never experienced before?

A crusher is just something that disheartens and depresses us in life.
