To put simply the quick tapping of another blokes arse in a non-sexual way, often used as friendship/masculinity building, the bum tap is a common trope in senior rugby normally used to congratulate a successful play, a ploy to encourage one's teammate/ get someone moving or as an introductory action to a conversation. Successful attempts may be met with such responses as "Good contact!" "Solid Hit!" "How are we boys" -(When introducing oneself) "BOOM" "G UP MATE" Attempts may be as hard as the user intends however too soft of a hit may throw the tapper's sexuality into question, or create direly awkward situations. The Golden Rule however is, Do. Not. Hold. Ever. No matter what. Nor squeeze.
