Keelhauling.

It's a weird saying, to "get keelhauled". I never knew it was an actual thing! You do it on boats. You apparently get tied to a chair or just dropped over the side tied to a rope, then you're dragged around the outside of the boat, bumping against the side of the boat and being scratched by barnacles, and getting half drowned depending on the generosity of the rope-holders. How did I not know about this? Here is proof from wikepedia.

Thanks 702 radio, your segment on "ways you have been punished" was very interesting.
