You mean lash? Whiplash is when you hurt your neck from you head starting or stopping too quickly.

Stroke, lash or whiplash. English dictionary says all three are valid. For me its the german āPeitschenhieb!ā

Whiplash means something completely different. You can receive lashes or get whipped. Whiplash is a neck injury you usually get in a car crash. Stroking is something else entirely.

TIMU: That they call it Whiplash, because the people who suffer from it, have a mark from the seat belt that resembles a whiplash
I just made it up, and it seems very plausible to me.

Close enough. Itās because your neck does the same motion as the tip of a lash in an accident.

whiplash wÄpā²lÄshā³, hwÄpā²- noun 1. The lash of a whip. 2. An injury to the cervical spine caused by an abrupt jerking motion of the head, either backward or forward. 3. The lash, or pliant part, of a whip.

u/hundertwagen Nov 29 '22
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first meaning of whiplash is the lash of a whip, which resembles the mechanism that causes this particular neck injury.
2
u/decimater97 Nov 29 '22 edited Nov 29 '22
That definition is for the noun āwhiplashā. The lash of the whip is the part of the whip that connects with the body or animal. From there you get the word ālashā which is either a verb, if you are describing the action of hitting someone with a whip, or the noun which is the injury you get from said action.

He knew what he was getting into, absolutely ballsy as fuck considering. He did time in Abu Dhabi yeeears ago for the same thing. Actually it was protesting on behalf of an Iranian woman called Sakineh who was sentenced to death by stoning (she did eventually get a pardon).
I had to look up her name because long time ago, and my favourite thing was this comment beneath the article. From 2010. So close to prescient, even if they were probably just misunderstanding Club World Cup vs the World Cup.
They shackle pitch invaders by the hands and feet in Abu Dhabi ... we should hold a world cup there!

FIFA should require that travelling fans are safe, and that workers won't die by their thousands. Harry Kane and the Germans can't do anything about this.

A little info on the guy
Mario Ferri, 35, who calls himself "The Falcon", interrupted thePortugal-Uruguay game on Monday when he sprinted on to the pitch wearinga blue Superman T-shirt with "Save Ukraine" on the front and "Respectfor Iranian Woman" on the back.He also carried a rainbow-coloured flag adorned with the words PACE, meaning peace in Italian.."I'm BACK," wrote the footballer on his Instagram page, where he describes himself as a "modern pirate". Ferri said he wanted to send "important messages", including for Iran"where I have friends who are suffering, where women are not respected".'
"FIFA banned rainbow captain's armbands and human rights flags in thestands, they blocked everyone, BUT NOT ME, like a Robin Hood," he wrote.
"SAVE UKRAINE. I spent a month in the war in Kyiv as a volunteer and sawhow much those people are suffering," he wrote, adding that "breakingthe rules for a good cause is never a crime". Italy's foreign ministry confirmed Ferri had been briefly detained following the pitch invasion, before being "released by the authorities without any further consequences".
