Skunked

It no longer mattered that I had been skunked in the marsh. I had prevailed on the ponds.

We found some skunked beer in the abandoned cabin, but it was not worth drinking.

A word is most hotly disputed in the middle part of this process: any use of it is likely to distract some readers. The new use seems illiterate to Group 1; the old use seems odd to Group 2. The word has become “skunked.”
