a sharp blow to the skin (usually someone else's bare legs) with a cupped hand. Compare camel bite, crow peck, monkey shine. Also, horsey bite.

Contributor's comments: Ow! I copped a few of these as a kid in the 70s. To be feared along with the vicious "crow peck" a hard and sharp rap on the skull with the knuckle of a bent pointer finger.
