24) To set someone up.
For example, a new teacher:
"Professor Higgins! What are you doing to that poor girl?!?"
"But... But she said... Isn't it school policy?"
"Oh it was horrible! He said he'd expel me if I didn't let him, let him..."
Or someone from work:
"Mr Higgins, can you explain the surveillance tape?"
"Well..."
"Because Ms. Hardcastle has explained how it shows you forcibly assaulting her. You are definitely not going to be promoted now and we may be turning this footage over to the police."
Or a new person in a parent's life.
"Go ahead and spank me - it's what my bio-mom would do. It's what she will do if you don't do and tell her that you've done it. You might need to take some pictures and send them to her - just so she can see that my bottom is red enough." changing to "Oh it was awful! That horrible woman that dad is seeing, she ..."
Then again, that last example might lead to:
"It was wrong to lie to your father's new girlfriend - but since you've raised the topic of spanking maybe we should discuss it."
25) as a cure for stage fright. The smack on the bottom distracts you from your nerves about going on stage in front of all those people. No, it's a real treatment for stage fright - at least for Carly Simon (See

25a) as a distraction for another issue. If it works for stage fright, maybe it would work for something else? Maybe we could get a grant and study the issue?
