What does brand spanking new mean?

to be brand new


What is the origin of the phrase brand spanking new?

There are two realms of thought concerning the origin of this phrase. The first is that many babies have been, and still are, spanked once or twice on the bottom when they are first born by a doctor or nurse to make the baby cry. This effective way of causing temporary pain is a way for medical professionals to ensure that the baby's lungs and throat are working probably, as the baby reacts by crying and/or screaming to the spank. The second, and a little bit of a stretch in comparison to the first, is that a spanking, especially when applied to the bare bottom, leaves a visible red mark on the buttocks. These red marks can quickly fade, particularly if the spanking applied was brief. The idea in using the phrase "brand spanking new" is that shortly after someone has been given a spanking, they will still have the red skin marks showing that their spanking was "new" or "just a short while ago."

Why does your butt get red while getting a bare bottom spanking?

During a bare bottom spanking, the repeated impact on the skin causes blood vessels near the surface to dilate and break, resulting in increased blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow leads to the reddening of the skin, known as erythema, as a natural physiological response to the trauma. Additionally, the release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators in the skin during the spanking can further contribute to the redness and inflammation of the area.
