flogger
Multi-tailed implement
A flogger is a multi-tailed whip used for striking, with origins in corporal punishment but now most commonly associated with BDSM practices.
The tails—usually leather, suede, or rubber—deliver sensation ranging from light sting to heavy thud depending on material and force.
In historical contexts, floggers were instruments of discipline on ships and in prisons.
A flogger is also simply one who flogs: a flogger of dead horses, a flogger of stolen goods.
