Author: Lucy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:01:20 02/21/12 Tue Over here people talk more about 'smacking' than 'spanking' (when they talk about at all, which isn't often, and then mostly for little kids) In our house it's called smacking most of the time, usually only a hard one with the spatula is called a spanking, but I call it a paddling, not sure why, because that's not a word used at all over here. I think I've picked it up from forums like here. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Harry [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:28:49 02/25/12 Sat There's another expression in the UK, used domestically by grown-ups and kids: a 'good hiding'. A GH is any serious, 'formal' physical punishment such as with a spoon, belt, etc. and it is a word we often use. I don't know the origins. When the cane was used in schools there were several words for it: swishing, whacking, the whack, and others that represented the cane's action. My housemaster at boarding school called it a 'tap on the bottom'. Only it WASN'T a tap! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
