[Ads-l] "slap-fight"

On a random reality-TV show there was featured a "slap-fight" between two
white guys. They took turns slapping the living shit out of each other,
until one of them couldn't take any more.

Back in The Lou amongst the colored, a "slap-fight" was the same as a
"fight fair-fists," except with open hands instead of fists. It was
regarded as mere fucking around and not as a test of the participants'
manhood.
