Liverpool kiss:

1957 Kersh _Fowlers End_ 28: You know what it is, a Liverpool kiss? Make a
quick grab for the lapels o' the coat, an' pull somebody forward. At the
same time bunt 'im in the face miv the top o' your 'ead an' kick 'im in the
stomach miv your knee. Naturally 'e falls forward. While 'e's falling, punch
'im in the jaw miv all your might so he gradually falls dahn senseless.
Then, at your leisure, kick 'im in the 'ead.

Or the 'Byker teacake', another head-butt. Byker is a notoriously tough
housing project in the northern city of Newcastle (as in 'coals to . . .').
A teacake (in case such delights haven't crossed the Atlantic) is 'a light
kind of flat cake to be eaten at tea' (OED).
