Cobbing

Cobbing is a form of spanking using a type of paddle known as cob or in full cobbing-board, typically used as a disciplinary measure, often by comrades, in the military or among sailors.

Cobbing may also refer to:

• A building trades term for a kludge (or kluge, a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem or difficulty). In engineering, a kludge is a workaround, typically using unrelated parts cobbled together, derived from the implication that the work was done improperly, as if done with feet instead of hands. Especially ambiguous since the proper way to do the type of cobbing involved in Cob Construction is, in fact, by use of the feet.
• methods of constructing buildings or preparing building materials that involve the use of the feet to lay walls or crush and mix materials.
