A spankist is any person who has a propensity to administer spanking as their preferred form of corporal punishment. A spankist (or spanki, plural) is usually an adult who performs the spank on a young child. Spanki are most often parents or family relatives, with daycare givers or babysitters being less common examples. An elementary school teacher was once considered to be the defining institutionalized spankist, but this practice has largely abated since the Post-war era.
"As a spankist, I believe that time-out is an ineffective punishment."

One theme considered for an episodic arc for the Maury Povich Show was "You Spankist!: A focus on potentially unethical spanking."

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
