headbutting
Forehead-first contact sport
Headbutting is striking someone or something with your forehead, whether as an attack, a show of aggression, or rough affection.
In sports like soccer, it's a legitimate technique for directing the ball.
As interpersonal violence, a headbutt is sudden and close-range: He was ejected for headbutting the referee.
