Quick question: what, if anything, does the phrase "misery whip" mean to you ?

In a second-hand CD shop in Camden at the weekend I was delighted to find Vol 2 of Everclear's "Songs From An American movie" for £2. On it, there is a track called Misery Whip.

Which is odd, because I also have a song called The Misery Whip on "Asphyxia" by the Dream Disciples. And they're definitely not the same song. This would seem to be a strange example of convergent evolution, so I'm just wondering if the phrase exists independently, and if so, how well-known is it ?

Yes, I could just google the phrase, and I probably will. But I'm curious to hear people's thoughts, first.

It sounds like a Yu-gi-oh card to me.

I did not know you were a Yu-gi-oh player - we must meet up sometime for you to soundly whup my arse. :)

I'd imagine the misery whip to be an equip spell that changes the attacker to defense position at the end of the turn - what do you reckon?

I have cards somewhere - possibly at [livejournal.com profile] two_nukes's house. If I can ever find the things, I'm up for an arse-whupping, one way or another ;)

To my knowledge I don't have your cards here
