    The whiperine

    What did you call the person that you were threatened with if you bunked off in school?

    I've heard of the whipper in. Bit of an old fashioned expression even when I was in school though, and that was 40 years ago.

    I remember it well - not sure about the spelling but it sounds right. It obviously didn't strike fear into me: I did my fair share of 'mitching',

    Whipper in is a fox hunting term.

    The whipper in's main job is to round up any hounds that stray from the pack.
