What's the name for this punishment?
Hi there!
I've seen some teachers punish students by asking them to cross their arms, pull their ears, squat down and rise with backs upright repeatedly.
Is there a term to describe this particular form of punishment? Something like 'push-ups" which is the more common form of punishment.
Also how would a drill sergeant tell new recruits to do push-ups as a punishment? I recall there's a specific way of saying it, but the actual words eludes me.
Thank you.
Jeff

The only school where I witnessed corporal punishment was in Tabarz, Germany. I never got any, but whenever I see that I have typed something wrong, I still put my hands behind me real quick-like.

Hanging around India, have you been? I know the Tamil word for it; I don't think there is an English equivalent.
As for the form of punishment, it falls under corporal punis

Ah! You're so young! Corporal punishment was regularly administered, sometimes for fairly minor misdemeanours, in UK state schools up to the late 1970s. I cannot remember when the law was passed banning it.
In England they used a cane on the palm of the hand and in Scotland a leather belt or "tawse".

In movies, "drop and give me twenty" (or however many pushups are desired). I don't know how it's said in real life.

Gruffly and impatiently. And it's not punishment; it's extra training. Drill
