A quick definition of cucking stool:

A cucking stool, also known as a castigatory or ducking stool, is a device used in the past to punish people who were considered scolds or troublemakers. The person would be repeatedly plunged underwater as a form of correction. It was also used to punish bakers and brewers by dunking them into stinky water. The term comes from the Saxon language and means "scolding stool."

A more thorough explanation:

A cucking stool is a device used in the past to punish scolds by repeatedly plunging them underwater. It was also used to punish bakers and brewers by ducking them into "stinking water". The device is mentioned by the ancient Saxons and in Domesday Book. It is also known as a ducking stool, castigatory, or trebucket.

For example, if a woman was convicted of being a common scold, she would be sentenced to be placed in the cucking stool. The stool would be plunged into the water, and the woman would be repeatedly dunked as punishment.

This punishment was used to shame and humiliate the person being punished. It was believed that the repeated dunking would help to "cool their tongue" and stop them from being a scold.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
