crow peck


a hard and sharp rap on the skull with the knuckle of a bent pointer finger, a typical bullying practice. Compare camel bite, horse bite, monkey shine.

Contributor's comments: Middle finger crow pecks occur too. It is the mean, strict step-mother of the more playful `monkey-shine', a headlock accompanied by a ferocious rubbing of the scalp with the palm side of a fist.
