The structure combines "do" (to serve or complete) with "time" (a prison sentence measured in months or years), forming a verb phrase that treats incarceration as a period to be endured. It is used to describe serving a prison sentence, typically as a punishment for a crime or offense, emphasizing the duration rather than the location. People typically say someone "did time" when discussing past convictions, such as "He did five years for robbery" or "She's doing time upstate."

Corporal punishment refers to the physical punishment of a person, usually a student, through actions such as spanking, slapping, or hitting, often as a way to enforce discipline. It is a form of punishment used to correct behavior or enforce rules, but it is controversial due to concerns about its effectiveness and potential harm. Many countries and schools have banned corporal punishment due to its negative impact on students’ mental health and the potential for abuse. It has been largely replaced by other forms of discipline, such as detention or counseling.
