slap
A slap is a striking blow often depicted with motion lines and leaving the victim with a shocked expression. A slap can be produced by any body part, or flat-surfaced object making a forceful contact with flesh. Most often, a slap is an open-handed strike with the palm of the hand to a surface or body part.
