Two words required for certain actions.

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me if we can "hit someone with a whip or lash or hunter? Also, which word should I use for the following situation--embedded or got stuck in or...? Any suggestions for the following situation are very welcome.

Hi Tom

Oh, what a lovely topic to wake up to. It's a good thing I made my coffee strong this morning.

Rather than the word 'hit', you could use 'flog'.

I don't know the noun 'hunter' as being synonymous with 'whip'. Where or how did you come up with that word?

Rather than saying that the whip became 'embedded in the body', I think it would be more appropriate to say something such as 'penetrated/shredded the skin'.

Are you writing a story about this?

Hi, Amy
To continue contemplating on this horrible sentence, what do you think about this one:

He had a horrible whip with stiff hairs on it. Whenever he hit anyone with that whip, the hairs would get stuck in their bodies and the whip would come off with a lot of flesh

Hi Alex

To me, the words 'in' and 'bodies' are wrong together in this context. Perhaps "get stuck on their bodies". If you want to use the preposition 'in', then I think you need to use a word such as 'skin'.

Perhaps Tom could also say something such as "bit into their bodies".
