    Interesting; here in Alberta a buggy whip is a flexible (fibreglass, at least mine is) flagpole for the back of your truck.

      Hmm, I’m guessing that buggy whips were more like a flexible pole rather than the stereotypical Indiana Jones whip.

      So a thin flexible pole would make sense.

      Like when you’d whack your little brother with a long bendy stick when you were kids.
