In the United States this would be thought of as “spanking”, whereas in Britain most of us would describe it as “smacking”. In this country a spanking is when a child is put otk and given more than one smack on its bottom. The punishment is controlled: the slaps land only on the bottom, which is not the case with giving a few random swipes.
How many smacks constitute a proper spanking? (The word used from now on in the British sense.)
