Actually, Adelina, I agree entirely with you. I've never considered myself to have been "spanked," growing up for that very reason, it was all on the legs. And the term that I, my parents, and just about all others used was "whipped," as you note.

I do consider, however, the "whipping," as it was done, to be appropriate corporal punishment, and so here we have to be careful with how we actually use words. In today's world if I said that I was never "spanked" growing up, the great majority of people would take that to mean that I wasn't corporally punished in any way. Just the opposite is true, of course.
