Thread: What Does a Strop Do? The real Answer is Hard to Take

Funny that corporal punishment and razor strops would come up. As a kid when I got my "trip to the woodshed", the old man would often follow up the incident by saying, "Boy, you don't know what an ass whoopin is. When I was a kid, I used to get whipped with a razor strop and was sore for 3 days afterwards. Now that's an ass whoopin." Fortunately for me, his weapons of choice were the open hand pimp slap and the 10D to the buttocks. When household appliances were involved, he generally stuck with the basic cutting board or ping pong paddle so I'm unable to this day to verify his claims.

Man, I got whatever belt my dad was wearing that day.

You'll want to wrap it in saran wrap to keep stuff from building up in the hollows.

In our house, my older brother got Dad's belt. But, speaking of crazy women, by the time my sister and I came along, mom wanted in on the fun and favored a wooden spoon. To this day, my sister and I mimic her sinister, cackly announcement that "It's wooden spoon time..."

And yet, I survived to adulthood and am not ashamed to be judged by the company I keep.

No belts were used in my house. However, my mother, the enforcer, swung a mean switch. A keen, well placed switch will leave a welt even through heavy blue jeans.

I got a hunk of plywood with a shape of a hand cut into it. But it was always wielded by my mother. She was one we feared the most.

Ditto, most of the heavy duty attitude adjustments were handled by my Mom. She wasn't nearly as predictable as the old man and would generally use whatever was handy. She was no one to tangle with for sure.

You guys are lucky. my grandmother had a weeping willow in her yard. The only th ing worse than getting smacked with one of those branches was the long walk out to cut the branch yourself.
