A flogger can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are some possible meanings:
- A person who beats another with a whip or stick, especially as punishment.
- The device used for flogging, which can be a multi-tailed scourge typically made of soft leather.
- A mallet used to beat the bung-stave of a cask to loosen the bung.
- In the context of BDSM, a multi-tailed scourge typically made of soft leather.
- A teenage fashion originated in Argentina at the end of 2004, which is closely related to Fotolog, a photoblog web site. It has become very popular among young people, to almost become a craze. The style is principally composed of tight trousers on males and females alike, broad V-neck T-shirts, fluorescent colors, canvas sneakers or skate shoes, blonde or black hair, long fringe brushed to one side of the face or over one eye, straight hair and horn-rimmed glasses. It is common to call "floggers" to any adolescent followers of this style.
It is important to note that the term "flogger" can have negative connotations due to its association with punishment and torture.
