or "we need to have al ittle chat don't we" always meant a spanking. Still i used the same phrase often with my own family

My parents didn't use physical discipline (not in the formal sense, anyway), but I know that it wasn't at all unusual when I was wee, and I had schoolfriends who were regularly disciplined with the slipper or the belt. I often heard parents saying things like 'I'm going to skelp your backside!' or 'Do you want me to take your pants down when we get home?'. I even remember kids having their backsides smacked openly in the street. Nobody thought anything of it then.

My mom also used ”wait till I get you home”.

another comment my mother used to say when with my sister and myself when visiting others was. "We cannot stay long, we have some chores to do at home that cannot wait"

it meant my sister and myself would be over our mum's lap or bending over clutching our knees when we got home. Funny how a post can remind one of such times

After the fact that we got in trouble, she would spank us or use a paddle. Well our instinct was to run knowing she couldn't catch us. Her saying was always " if you run it's going to be worse when I do get you". So we totally would stop and get our spankings. Lol.

"I'll deal with you later" was a chilling fore-warning.

Whether at school or from an elder.

It always ended painfully.

It is wonderful how well behaved a child can be when they realise they are in danger of being spanked! Of course, for these phrases to work the child has to know they will be spanked if they are naughty again and to know that the spanking will be a very unpleasant experience.
