slap and tickle

Frisky physical affection

Slap and tickle is British slang for playful sexual activity—kissing, groping, fooling around.

The phrase suggests lighthearted physical intimacy rather than full intercourse: a bit of slap and tickle in the back seat.

It sounds somewhat dated or jokey, evoking mid-20th-century British comedy.
