tawse

The serpent had unwound its coils; it lay revealed in all its hideousness—a teacher's tawse!

You are an ould pig and I'll not speak, and you'll never put your hands on your tawse again.

A tiny voice pipes out in the very highest of high trebles: 'I'se here tawse I tarn't walt.'

This is an iron chain with a heavy knob at the end, to which a strap, like a Scotch tawse, is often attached.

The chain is ordinarily three and a half feet long, the tawse two feet, and the total weight is about seven pounds.
