Hit messages:

The shoreman swipes at you with his longshoreman's hook and mauls you something fierce. If you've ever been mauled by a bear, it feels something like that.
You try to run and dodge, but this guy's so big he only takes two steps for three of yours. He catches you easily and jerks mercilessly on your arm.
He claps his two giant ham-sized fists against your skull, making a ham sandwich. With your head as the bread on the inside and his hands as the ham on the outside. It's a pretty lousy sandwich, I guess.

He hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

The dock worker tosses you off the dock and into the water, and then watches and laughs as you climb out. You're wet, but basically unharmed.
