love tap
Gentle affectionate bump
A love tap is a gentle, playful hit—affectionate rather than aggressive.
Parents give children love taps; friends punch each other's arms in greeting.
The phrase sometimes appears ironically for hits that aren't gentle at all: That fender-bender was no love tap—it totaled my car.
