towel snap
Twisted cloth whip
A towel snap is the act of twisting a wet or damp towel into a tight rope and flicking it to strike someone, typically producing a sharp, stinging contact.
This maneuver is associated with locker rooms and communal showers, where it functions as rough horseplay among teammates or peers.
The snap can leave a welt and is sometimes considered a form of hazing or bullying.
