I find it interesting what people refer to certain things as...sometimes it's a regional difference, sometimes generational.
At least in MY definition, a paddling IS a spanking (as you said, just a spanking with a paddle) but a spanking is not necessarily a paddling...if no paddle is used.
A good while ago, the FB forum I am Co-Admin on, had this wonderful 19 year old young lady from around Seattle as a member, named Emily Renae. At the time there was a LOT of content on Twitter, where ladies - younger and older - would post about either their current experiences with corporal punishment in school (most of them were of this variety), or about how they were paddled in the past.
Emily was highly intelligent and she pulled a lot of content from Twitter, reposted it to our own files. One thing she taught me, is how best to search using key words. She said you'll never get many hits using the word "spanking" as it relates to school, and really not that many even when using "paddling."
She theorized these girls believed that verbiage sounded too juvenile, so they would almost always, only refer to them as "swats." And again, seemingly according to region, some would call them "licks." When and where I grew up, that's what we called them, "licks." To a lesser degree, some called them "pops."
Can you share with us how old you were when you got your first paddling (spanking with a paddle) from Mr. B, and perhaps some circumstances surrounding the event...like what you did to get into trouble, how many swats you got, etc. And also, how old/what grade werer you in when you got your last school paddling?
Thanks!
