I can’t believe I missed this, before! Latin phrases are hot, hot, hot! Thanks for this post!

Very nice, Candycane!

I could say something very dirty in Latin, but perhaps I had better not!

It means “These stories are very very hot”, Mr Latin Master, Sir!

Candycane is cleverer than all the rest of us. (*What* does that mean).

Interesting though, Rob, on relevant words. I guess a girl can be flogged or thrashed with just about anything; I rather agree with you on the others. I now feel like drawing up a table of implements and verbs, and showing which can rightly be used with which! (Smudge is staying this weekend – perhaps I should experiment: “Come here and be birched with the paddle”).

Pammie – I’ve just done a search, and can see hours of interesting reading ahead! Thank you

When I first was introduced to LDD a few months ago, I searched for “Domsetic Discipline” on the NY Times website. I thought since this topic is all over the Internet that surely the NY Times would have stories about ti. What a surprise to find nothing newer than 1900 or so. Check it out.

Slightly off topic I suppose, but advice given to me is that one needs to use the correct word for various implements.

So, one gets spanked with his hand, whipped with his whip or cane, paddled with his paddle or the hairbrush and so on. I’m not aware if one is beaten with anything in particular (the carpet beater?), but like you, it does imply something just too nasty really (though it can work for kinky story writing).

Augustine may have been a modern thinker, in his own way. I suppose it is conceivable that he had knowledge of women even then who didn’t mind a little corporal discipline.

Muahahaha. I had the option of doing Latin in school and very wisely decided not to. I swear it’s one of the smartest things I’ve ever done. I might have died with boredom otherwise. So you can utter all your Latin phrases and I’ll just sit here and laugh at you, if that’s alright?

I like Justinian – he could spank me just for the fun of it, but then he would have to give me lots of nice things to make up for it – I win both ways!!
