Why not just "shock"? Like the famous Peter Gabriel song "Shock the Monkey".

  Because you can give someone a shock by dragging your feet across a carpet and touching exposed skin. When you start piling on the syllables, you know there's some serious current flowing.

    "heavy shock" is much easier than "electrotetanize"
