Some sources claim it's a superstition while other sources claim that it's based on the slap on the bottom most infants get on the day they are born by the doctor. It's probably more based on the latter than the former. Just adding an extra "slap" as a show of good luck to your health.

What is the origin of the idiom brand spanking new?

The idiom "brand spanking new" originated in the early 20th century and likely comes from the use of "brand" to mean freshly made or new, and "spanking" to emphasize the idea of newness or freshness. It is used to describe something that is completely unused and in pristine condition.


When is it appropriate to give your kid a birthday spanking?

A birthday spanking (something done as a joke on a child's birthday) is only really appropriate up to the age at which parents would cease smacking their children as punishment, ie probably 5-6 years old. An older child who consents to such treatment most likely has some kind of dependency issues.


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."
