It means to grasp by the arm and force to walk along....like when you pick a frog up usually pick it up on it sides(belly) so yep......make sence?

Hi, frogmarched is literally when you march someone somewhere i.e. say my son was misbehaving in a shop and I was so cross I was going to take him out then I might say I frogmarched him out the shop, marched him out in disgrace, to me frogmarch is a bit like dragging but not dragging, do you follow as I've confused myself?

Hi Antiquelady. If you don't know what it is then pretty much it means that you are marched somewhere without any willingness to go. For further information you can find it online on Wikipedia and online Dictionary also, each have their own different definitions and stuff but it's online if you need to still learn what it is.

I had never heard of this either. And I hope I never experience it. WOW...I would not be a happy camper if someone "frogmarched" me. I have a feeling they would have a bit of a fight on their hands. I doubt I would go quietly. Nice discussion. Sure did learn something new this time! Thanks for sharing...oh and thank your mom too! :-)

Hi there trulydreaming. Thanks for your time and your response to Our Question. I hope not too. I am sure I would not go quietly either so it is that simple either behave or be frog-marched, I guess. Thanks again for the response. Catch ya later pretty_babe
