Slapping

I have read in the papers and saw in the news tonight about this 'slapping' craze that has appeared in the UK. Is it just a British ~~pfenom~~ thingy. Or has it been imported from the USA or some other country? I know the kids used to do something similar with 'You've been Tangoed' a few years back. At least they kept that to themselves.
In this 'craze' everyone is being picked on and the incident captured on their friends mobile phones. Sad really. :(

What would you do if you became a victim of this 'craze'? I dont know what I would do. I suppose it would depend on the circumstances.

Re: Slapping

We use to spam people in the yard, when I was in school. I got spammed loads too - it hurt.

Basically you slapped someone on the forehead as hard as you could and shouted 'Spam'. The people who were watching laughed.

Seems as if things have come full circle, except we didn't have mobile phones. Duno if there is that much harm in it. If it wasn't slapping other folk for a laugh, it would be something else.

One would be tempted to perform what is known in the trade as "a Prescott"

I believe the correct name is Happy Slapping - as demonstrated by that bloody singing chick that can be downloaded for mobiles.

So you consider slapping old people a laugh. Bloody middle aged hippie. :angry:

That's two angry smilies in ten minutes :)

I duno, Boab. Slapping old people isn't a laugh, I was talking about in the school-yard, where from my perspective it isn't funny but from a teenager's POV, it's hilarious.

Didn't realise it was happening to older folk, including middle aged hippies (:ohmy:) but if someone tried to slap me in the street, I imagine I'd try to stop them and if I didn't do that in time then I'd stamp on their head a bit.

Re: Slapping

i don't think there's anything wrong with slapping, professional wrestlers slap each other all the time, it wouldn't be on TV if this kind of thing was wrong

That is all stage managed and rehearsed though Darth. You very rarely see a wrestler ending up in hospital. Only if someone forgets his 'lines'.:lol:

"Slapping" would never catch on over here. :(

There would be one news story and then the fad would end.

slapping would never catch on there, because one person would do it to you then you'd punch them, then they kick your arse then you go get your gun :fear:

If it did then Busy would move to Fla so he could pack in public.

Either way....it wouldn't catch on if every time someone slapped a person, the slapper was slapped with bullets.

JUST IN CASE. :mellow:

This thread is surreal. I must not be picturing this "slapping" properly.
