tabana

A forceful backhanded slap or blow delivered with the knuckles, usually in a downward diagonal motion starting from the opposite ear to gain momentum. It is distinguished from a standard palm slap (galleta) by being the harder, more aggressive version of the strike. (Traditionally, this is the signature move for old-school Dominican parents to discipline misbehaving children; the dramatic wind-up is said to be enough to make a child lose control of their bowels out of fear).

The older man to his son: Look, you damn kid... if you keep messing around, I am going to let loose a tabaná on you! In the street: The poor kid got pummeled... but that little brat landed a tabaná on the other one! Daaaamn!
