Buckle end of the belt
Before the year 2000, the "buckle end of the belt" was considered one of the worst punishments you could get from your parents for misbehaving, usually reserved for serious issues such as stealing or bullying someone.
Instead of going home and simply getting "the belt" which was a bad punishment already, the "buckle end of the belt" was considered an even worse punishment due to the buckle usually being made of metal.
It was highly regarded as the worst punishment you could receive back then. However, over the years it has been replaced with less physical punishments such as WiFi restrictions.
