Spanking

Spanking (or smacking, or less specific terms such as whipping, etc.) is the most used traditional form of physical punishment, consisting in a beating applied on the buttocks.
Spanking, by today’s definition, consists of striking the buttocks, usually as a physical punishment, with either an open hand or various implements including a cane, a belt or strap, various types of whips such as the martinet and the tawse, a switch or other form of rod, a paddle, some curious devices such as the electric so-called spanker and trickster paddling machines, or various household objects designed for other purposes, such as a slipper, a wooden spoon, a bath brush, a wooden ruler or a hairbrush.
