Tingola

A sharp flick to the throat, usually aimed at the Adam's apple, performed by snapping the index or middle finger off the thumb. It is a rough prank where the victim is tricked into looking up to expose their neck. The attacker typically shouts the word as they strike. (In the Dominican Republic, this is a painful practical joke common among youth).

-Look, a bird with a cow in its beak! -Where? (Looking up). -Tiiiiiiiiigoooooola!!!
