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.
In the United States and Canada, all discipline applied to the posterior is usually known as spanking. In Britain and many Commonwealth countries is
smacking or whacking used as the general term; with spanking usually referring to bare-handed discipline (as opposed to implement-specific forms of padd spanking such as ling, caning, birching and slippering).
There are many
alternative terms, often linked with an implement (such as
belting, caning, whipping), but also
sometimes used more generally (such as
thrashing, dressing-down (though this often refers to the lecture that precedes the actual spanking and perhaps refers to the undressing of the buttocks that often occurs during the lecture) ,
