Karmic Spank 

To receive a form of punishment directly connected to a wrongdoing

Student X ruled the elementary playground roost - harassing and haranguing with no regard for human decency. One day, while little Sammy and Mary swung contently on the swing set, X decided he wanted their swings. So, he grabbed Sammy by the collar and yanked him off backwards landing Sammy on his coconut, dazed on the tarmac. Sally fared not much better: X pushed her forward with bionic strength launching her head first into distant shrubbery. X cackled and barked out, "Way to stick the landing,”prancing around proud of his handiwork. X mounted one of the swings and started pumping like a crazed weasel. He pumped so hard that he ended up directly above the horizontal bar that the swing chains are affixed to. Now, he would be a victim of gravity: in an instant, X looked down and saw the bar coming up fast as he fell from the sky. His head met the bar with a crack so loud that a math teacher, at the board in a distant building, paused his blatherings and shooshed his own class for the noise. X then missiled into the earth, his head augering into the mote of a former sand castle, his body, above, in the open air, standing straight up, like a simple hard coral. One on-looking teacher who knew of X's on-going predilection of beating other kids, using obscene verbiage and just all around nastiness, looked calmly at another teacher, while sipping on his 20-gallon jar of joe, and said, "Well, it looks like X really got the karmic spank on that one."
