bopping
Striking in rhythm
Bopping is hitting or striking, usually lightly or playfully: She bopped him on the head with a rolled-up newspaper.
It also means moving or going casually: I was just bopping around town.
In its musical sense, bopping is dancing or moving rhythmically to music, especially bebop jazz: They spent the night bopping to old records.
