Talk:Whipping

Whooping

Whooping is basically just a variation of whipping used for generic spanking purposes. Would mention of this go well here? --Roguebfl ^(talk) 18:19, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Yes, I think, if your etymology is correct. Hmmm... unrelated to whooping cough I suppose (it derived its name from the characteristic severe hacking cough followed by intake of breath that sounds like "whoop")? Spankart ^(talk) 21:01, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Well looking into the etymology based on what you said, it might be worth it own article. --Roguebfl ^(talk) 21:10, 13 August 2008 (BST)
