Annihilation means completely destroying something, so thoroughly that nothing is left of it at all - not just damaged, but wiped out entirely. It's a strong, dramatic word, often used about armies being destroyed in a battle, or in science, when matter and antimatter meet and completely disappear, turning into pure energy. It's not a word for everyday small problems - it's for total, complete destruction.
