slappy
No-ollie curb grind
Slappy describes something resembling or involving a slap—light, quick, percussive contact.
In skateboarding, a slappy is a trick where the rider rides up onto a curb or ledge without popping an ollie first, letting the trucks slap against the edge: He hit a slappy grind on the low curb.
The term can also describe comedy heavy on physical gags and face-slapping: a slappy Three Stooges routine.
