The first two episodes of Season 1 pulsate with the most dramatic and wrenching transition of the monarch's life: the abrupt accession to the throne of the young, married Princess Elizabeth upon the premature death of her father, King George VI. But after that, she doesn't put a slippered foot wrong for the next six decades — unpromising material for a dramatist, one might think Not so.

San Pantaleone or Pantalone was a popular saint in Venice, and he therefore gave his name to a character in the commedia dell'arte, Pantalone, a silly, wizened old man (Shakespeare's "lean and slippered Pantaloon") who was a caricature of Venetians. This character was portrayed as wearing trousers rather than knee breeches, and so became the origin of the name of a type of trouser called "pantaloons," which was later shortened to "pants".

More typical, in that the cane was the "official" punishment, and slippering routinely used more informally, was Highbury Grove School, a large boys' school in north London."Caning for "slap happy" school", Islington Gazette, 26 May 1978 (includes picture of slippered boy).

In commedia dell'arte, Pantaloon (Pantalone in Italian) was a devious, greedy merchant of Venice. He is taken in readily by the various tricks and schemes of Harlequin. Pantaloon's costume usually included red tight-fitting vest and breeches, slippers, a skullcap, an oversized hooked nose, and a grubby grey goatee. Pantaloon was familiar enough to London audiences for Shakespeare to refer to him at the turn of the 17th century as the exemplar of an elderly man, "the lean and slippered Pantaloon".

John Pidgeon of Let It Rock found the side-two medley typical of McCartney's "lazy" attitude to songwriting and said: "Red Rose Speedway sounds as if it was written after a big tea in front of the fire with carpet-slippered feet up; listening to it takes about as much as going ten rounds with a marshmallow fairy." Pidgeon concluded by likening the album to The Emperor's New Clothes, ruing that McCartney appeared to have no one to challenge his judgment or "kick his arse".

The routine nature of such punishment is demonstrated by the frequency with which comics of the day (e.g. The Beano and The Dandy) showed scenes in which characters such as Dennis the Menace, Roger the Dodger, Minnie the Minx and Beryl the Peril were slippered by an irate parent. There has been very little data, research or evidence compiled about the use of slippering. Information is mainly based on anecdotal reports from individuals who have given, received, or observed slipperings, or who have been in households or schools where slipperings were used.

He believed that Ohio Wesleyan was fortunate in that it was founded as a community divided in religious and political opinions because the friction of a mixed society prevented dogmatism, developed energy, and that the spirit of the college is the spirit of liberty. Thomson and his successors were vocal in other political debates of the time, such as slavery and the expansion of the United States. In 1857, Edward Thomson denounced the argument that southern Christians "should retain their slaves in obedience to state laws forbidding manumission," saying that "the soft and slippered Christianity which disturbs no one, is not the Christianity of Christ." The Ohio Wesleyan Female College was established in 1853.

And then the lover, > Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad > Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then, a soldier, > Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, > Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel, > Seeking the bubble reputation > Even in the cannon's mouth. And then, the justice, > In fair round belly, with a good capon lined, > With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut, > Full of wise saws, and modern instances, > And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts > Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, > With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, > His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide > For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, > Turning again toward childish treble, pipes > And whistles in his sound.
