I said we are not familiar here in the UK with the paddle, but I did once get a couple of whacks, or swats, with a paddle. The music teacher had one, but he was the only person I knew of to have one and use it. Before he whacked me he chalked a swastika on it, so I had a couple of Nazi insignia on my trousers after. It stung quite a bit more than the slipper normally did, so I should imagine anyone in the US getting more than two with a bigger paddle would certainly know about it.
