Are cat o' nine tails considered a flogger or a whip?
I would call it a flogger more than a whip.. oh my god, maybe it's because I'm so fucking tired of seeing ten thousand floggers on EF called whips so if I see any more stuff miscategorized as a whip I freak out. I know a cat o nine tails is still technically a whip but the general whip term is just so abused that I'm a bit protective of it unless it's the really traditional basic one-strand-only term. I'd be alright categorizing it as flails or as just a general whipping device..

I voted both because, honestly, I've seen a lot of them and some are quite whippy - as a cat SHOULD be - and some are pretty simple floggers with 9 tails that someone is calling a cat.
I think, however, that both floggers and whips are... whips. A flogger is a multi-tailed whip. A single tail is a single tailed whip. A cat is a 9 tailed whip.
We just get too picky sometimes, trying to box everything into its own little box.

So, Bill, would you call the Viper Tongue a whip or a flogger?

I've always considered it to be a whip if it has braided lashes; a flogger if it has flat lashes, but then again, I've only spent a decade or so making them! Let the debate continue.
