slapping
Hitting with palm
Slapping is the present participle of slap, describing the act of striking with an open hand or a flat object.
Beyond physical contact, slapping appears in contexts where something hits or moves against a surface with a similar sound: waves slapping against the hull.
In contemporary slang, slapping describes music or food that hits hard in a good way—something that slaps is excellent or impressive: This track is slapping.
These tacos are slapping.
