Subject: Re: Implement Author: Alfred22 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:39:37 01/14/25 Tue In reply to: Radka 's message, "Re: Implement" on 04:19:42 01/09/25 Thu In English I would use either an adjective such as "judicial" or "massive" for the monster 10 mm cane. For the 6 mm cane various qualification adjectives come to mind but "junior" or "beginners" perhaps. I have some experience with an 8 mm bamboo cane and I would describe it as "the amazingly thuddy" cane. It barely flexes at all. Bamboo is notoriously prone to shatter into nearly razor sharp pieces but this cane has lasted forever. It must be nearly 50! Admittedly it is not used very often and then only very sparingly. Since you have access to rattan or yew, I suspect, you can name your 8 mm, the "happy mediusm" or "the Golden Mean" cane -- "not too thick and not too thin,: [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Implement Author: Radka [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:51:38 01/14/25 Tue Thank you Alfred. However, I was thinking more of terms for the cane itself. You remember that in Czech we like to say ‘artist / expert’ to the cane (do you want to be good, or do you need the expert first?). Or also obedient-maker. But you can also just call it a stick without losing the meaning. In English, I find the possible alternatives (stick, rod, club) all somehow inappropriate, but of course this could also be due to my understanding of the language. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'm Czech and I've literally never heard using "expert" for a cane. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Implement Author: Alfred22 for Marek and Radka [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:37:23 01/15/25 Wed Personification of implements seems fine. I have a friend who would see the family spanking paddle in the closet where it was kept and say to it "Ha. Ha. You aren't going to get me today!" Another professional musician friend calls her cello "Mister S." Frequently spanking paddles will come with names/descriptions/purposes in big letters on them. Most notorious are the ones saying "For the cute little deer with the bear behind!" More common are "Attitude Adjuster." Lately people have mentioned "Obedience Improver/Obedient Maker." The terms or names "the artist" or "the expert" seem very useful and suggestive of the influence even one cane stroke can have on one's mental attitude or mood. Long ago a bubble gum cartoon had this dialogue: Kid 1: "A great artist can change a smile to a frown with a single brush stroke." Kid 2: " That's no bid deal, so can my Mom!"

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Implement Author: Alfred22 for Ms. Radka [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:51:39 01/15/25 Wed Here are some names for the three different diameter/length canes your family employed: 6mm cane: The Apprentice 8mm cane: The Master 10mm cane: The Judge I am hoping that any children in your current family never graduate beyond an occasional touch of The Apprentice. I am confident that a sample stroke and a firm warning should more than suffice to promote a better mood and a strong interest in being cooperative and obedient. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
