I also recall it being used to denote the action of beating someone up (at least in boarding school slang in north india)
Umm.. then I'll take back that remark about South Indian English
Corrected that last line
Love the blog. You gotta do a series on "stoner-slang" from our institutions of, er, higher learning. The word "thulp" reminded me of the slang "thol" (probably tamil; as in "he was full thol after the first joint")

Sure.. any suggestions??
"thulp" as far as i know, also used to connote the act of beating someone (either physically or in a game) "We go thulped in Basky, macchan"
Thulp is used, at least within the institutions of higher learning, to signify beating to a pulp. However, some do use to to indicate eating a lot.
Incidentally, the right word for ravenous eating within the pillars of the same learned halls is Kult.
