Unfortunately, spellcheck is not much of a friend to the many people who think that where is the past tense of the verb to be or that there is a possessive adjective.
Interesting word though.
— And what happened after the assailant took your mobile? — Well, he stranged me, innit? — How do you mean, "stranged"? — Well, he turned his back on me and ignored me, innit? It's not right, innit?
WV backled. Past tense of the verb "to backle", as in "The bastard stranged me so I backled him good and hard."

Have to admit that "stranged" is a new one on me ..
Eee, by 'eck .. tha' certainly lives an' learns 'ere .. ;)
Perhaps "stranged" is yoof-speak for being punched in the face. As in "You look at my ho one more time an' I'm gonna strange ya. Innit."
