tappers
Knuckles on doors
Tappers are people or things that tap.
A tapper might tap a rhythm, tap a maple tree for sap, or tap a keg of beer.
In dance, tappers wear shoes with metal plates that click against the floor.
The word also appears in compounds: wiretappers, phone tappers.
A tapper can be any device designed to strike or make contact repeatedly.
