I've never heard that expression!!!  I HAVE hear, I'm gonna stripe your legs with a switch!!  And I had to go break my own switch.  LOL

I remember hearing that one many times and I remember fetching my own switch as well.

Yeah, a switch was my granny's favorite method of punishment.  She would say "I'm gonna go cut me a switch."  Hoot,  did you ever fetch a switch that was too little to suit mom or granny and she made you go back and get something a bit more menacing?

Along the same lines, did anyone ever hear the phrase I'm gonna "tan your hide"  thrown your way as a kid?   Also, when my granny didn't feel like going out and cutting her a switch, she kept what she called a "razor strap" hung up by the bathroom door on a nail. It was just an old belt that she had cut off to about 16-18 inches. She would say, "if you don't behave, your gonna get the strap."
