Electrocuted is a word that describes the fatal experience of being shocked by an electrical current. While the term is accurate for describing death by electricity, it's a bit limiting for non-fatal incidents. Synonyms that can be used to more accurately describe electrical shocks range from mild to severe. Some of the milder synonyms include experiencing a shock or jolt, while more severe ones include being zapped or toasted. Still, other synonyms include terms like fried, barbecued, and charred. In any case, it's important to recognize just how dangerous electricity can be and take the necessary precautions to avoid any accidents.
