carpet shock
Shuffle-induced spark
Carpet shock is the static electricity discharge you feel after walking across carpet and touching something metal or another person.
The friction between shoes and carpet fibers builds up an electrical charge that releases on contact: I got a carpet shock from the doorknob.
More common in dry winter air when humidity is low.
