perambulation is an 📜 ancient tradition 📜 from england and wales, where they would take the town children for a walk around the borders with literal sticks swatting at the demarcations, often with light child abuse to make sure the memory is extra-vivid. kids would have their heads dunked in streams, or be thrown into nettles.

literally giving kids swirlies so they don't forget where the town ends.
