no touching
Don't make contact
No touching is a rule or command prohibiting physical contact, typically posted or announced in museums, stores, or anywhere fragile items are displayed: The sign said "No Touching" but my toddler couldn't read.
Parents use it to preempt grabby behavior.
In strip clubs, no touching is the standard policy separating performers from patrons.
