JEejj I got smacked by this hottest girl in town and I was like wtf? who and she just smiled and I evil smiled back and next time the other day I aporached really obvious and she saw it coming and I smacked her friend who wasn't expecting a thing and just keept eye contact with 1st one while ignored others reaction :) She then said to her friend to let me go and it was really funny to us 2 at least

(I know she did it just for fun of it in 1st place)

Sometimes during pshysical education we did that also just for fun altought it was really gay it was considered a good joke :)

Also some 2 girls smaced my buddy in a crowded bar ... but then he chickened :(

Usually when you "butt slap" someone, it's a situation where you'd high-five the person. In sports, players of same team are facing the same direction, thus your teammate can't see if you want to high-five him/her.

Now, of course you could tap the person on the shoulder, but in most sports you're pretty active and either running or bending forward when you're slapped, thus your butt is the closest and easiest target to reach for :)

As for your updated question, playing badminton, I've smacked girls and have been smacked by girls with rackets when playing mixed-double matches. Bare-handed would cross the line I think, but tools are fine :D

I dunno. If I was a guy, I'd totally do it though. Not even to sports people, just every guy I found attractive.

well I played football in high school. the reason why people do that, its like a good job, good luck, awesome catch, that kinda thing nothing gay by it, just a congratulations, obviously you have padding on your ass though so you really can't feel it..

[jimmy217]

well for football the butt is one of the only unpaded areas of the body. So like a pat on the back you wouldn't feel.

If a girl smacked me on the butt I'd take it as an intense flirt.
