An intense form of corporal punishment

From a letter of Princess Marianne of Prussia from March 9th 1807:

"The dicks are still there but the Emperor [Alexander of Russia] doesn't have one anymore [...]. The dicks, I heard from the King [of Prussia] today, of the infantry are already ordered to be cut off."

Is it possible that Princess Marianne means "braids" when she uses the word "Schwänze"? Yes.

Did I deliberately ignore that and instead chose to believe that when she uses "Schwänze" she means the even back then already established slang term for dicks? Absolutely.

Obscure/lost media plays about the presidents is my favorite niche.

Buchanan Dying by John Updike? Very strange. Updike was not normal about Buchanan. Just read Memories of the Ford Administration and you'll see. Everyone refused to put it on because of how wordy and confusing it was. No one could be asked to memorize that much dialogue that no audience would understand about James Buchanan. I mean I understood it. But I'm hardly representative of the average would-be Buchanan Dying audience member.

The Tragedy of Woodrow Wilson by William C. Bullitt (and Sigmund Freud)??? The world isn't ready for that. And it's lost media now. Freud liked it, but it was rejected as too scandalous. If only. We can dream. They would have dragged him.

45 Plays for 45 Presidents? I heard about it on a ridiculously bad podcast and can't find anything about it playing anywhere. All I know is that Pierce's play is apparently a beauty contest judged by the "two likely gay presidents": James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln(!??!?) The world doesn't need to suffer through that. Although I've maybe discovered the scripts. If I can get past this sign up wall I'll read at least half of them.
