Ok, whips, It is because they have NO walnuts. I have a thread about that Jem.https://www.over50sforum.com/showthread.php?t=55207Sorry I could not resist.
The Chief Whip is a political office in some legislatures whose task is to administer the whipping system that tries to ensure that members of the party attend and vote as the party leadership desires.
Where does the term party whip come from?
Party Whips. Both parties in the Senate elect whips. The term "whip" comes from a fox-hunting expression -- "whipper-in" -- referring to the member of the hunting team responsible for keeping the dogs from straying from the team during a chase.
In the early automobile era, the steering wheel became known as the whip. In more modern times, various hip-hop artists noticed that the Mercedes Benz logo resembled a steering wheel, which as mentioned was also known as the whip. So by association, the Mercedes Benz and later any fancy car was called a whip.

Thank you for that explanation Sweetie. So the term comes from keeping dogs in line via the whipper in, I suppose if one of the dogs went to bite the whipper in one might call that dog a whipper snapper.I’m just thinking now about a cowboy who used to be in the old comics, he used a whip and was called “Lash LaRue” not related to Danny La Rue by the way, not many here would remember good old Lash.
Bang on there Spitty, when, and only when, the man from Del Monte says yes can they pick the CROP.
All his produce are of the finest, the pears are especially nice with lashings of fresh cream and a smack of vanilla.

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
