| Belts Article | A belt is a flexible band, typically made of leather or heavy cloth, and worn around the waist. A belt supports trousers or other articles of clothing, and it serves for style and decoration. Historically, a belt was also used for spanking children, and by masters for spanking servants. This use has somewhat declined in the Western world, as it is viewed as too barbaric and uncontrollable a form of corporal punishment by certain people. |
