Don't remember anything about kids having to eat after the adults, but my stepfather was pretty much old school about thinking children should be seen and not heard.  That didn't mean that kids couldn't be there when adults were talking, just that we weren't supposed to take part in the conversation.  Which, generally speaking, we didn't want to be there, because we'd rather go play than listen to the adults talk out their asses about crap we didn't care about.

Maybe it's custom in some countries that adult ate first, but I've never heard of that in the US.  Maybe it's Pater Familias thing where the head of the family could just kill his children.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's not that I'm trying to make sense of what you're posting, but is that a saying? To whoop someone ass?

Sure is. Can be literal (spanking) but usually means to win a fight.

Surely that would be whoop someone's ass?

They is ebonics for their.  To whoop someone's ass is to beat them up.

Stone Cold Steve Austin regularly opened a can of whoop-ass on people in the late 90s.

I had to look up ebonics but I see. It doesn't really compute with how I imagine Syt's American family though. :P But as I said, I've stopped trying to make sense of them, I just enjoy the insanity.

Basically it's a corruption of the word "whip" in this context.
