To
say that one had been pandied sounds rather jolly. I (and GB) can assure you it isn’t. Our Prep. school had one or two teachers who enjoyed pandying for no good reason. It is an alternative word for being caned on
the hand with a stick. Such a pleasant
sounding word shouldn’t be used for such an unpleasant experience!
For me the word brings back a children's TV programme from my childhood... Andy Pandy.
