Callus...

[Quizmonster]

For some reason, C, I decided 'hits' was being used figuratively, because I didn't imagine the process of 'physical' hitting could possibly go on for long enough to create a callus.
I'm reminded of a pun in an old British radio comedy series. In it, an actor playing the part of a cowboy explaining his harshness said: "After twenty years in the saddle, I grew a little callous."
Seriously, can one develop a callus from being hit? I should have thought these came about more through constant wear/friction rather than striking. But what the hey! You're probably right.

I considered that aspect, Q, and came to the decision that, lacking sufficient clarity in the question, a defintion of callousness would seem to fit; i.e.,unfeelingness: devoid of passion or feeling; hardheartedness. A stretch, I know, but perhaps fills the inquirer's post. A Jewish friend used to say, regarding a person who couldn't make up his mind on a subject, that 'he had flip-flopped so many times, he had a callus on his frontal lobe'... oh well, you had to be there...

Boxers develop calluses on their fists from hitting, just as guitar players get them on their finger tips. As others have said, I hope the vicitim would not be getting hit long enough to develop calluses on his bruises!

Nothing to do with hitting as far as I know but Catatonia is a form of stupor.

Could it be comatose?
