OK, this isn't a "corporal punishment yes or no" comment.
But if you ARE going to spank your child if they continue to misbehave, please convey it to them in a more couth way than yelling at the top of your lungs that you are going to whoop their ass. I once heard a mom say to her kid in a very normal tone "don't be obstreperous." It might have been a big word, but you can bet from the way the kid immediately calmed down that they knew EXACTLY what the mother meant and EXACTLY what the consequences would be if they continued acting up.
