Addendum to my previous definition of schnoodle:
More precisely, a schnoodle is two guys sharing one foreskin in an erotic manner. Head to head. Ya dig?

To really whoop someone or give them trouble. To attack. If you really bust someone up and thoroughly kick their tailfeathers, you will have given them hell.
Since hell is a bad place full of suffering, to give someone hell is to create your own little part of it just for them.
It can also be a term for teasing or general razzing, ("he was really giving you hell at the party, wasn't he?") as well as winning in an athletic event. "We really gave that team hell."

If you are fighting a ferocious enemy, and want to charge up your troops, a good thing to shout would be "Give 'em hell!"
