chustle

v. A light but daring exploitative remark or gesture. Used
to replace a full explanation of either a verbal insult or a
playful sexual act when such explanation would otherwise be
too long, detailed, or in-depth to maintain the integrity of
a story."I gave him a quick chustle to his ego when he said
he could beat me."
<p>
Much of the history of the word is not known, but it is
believed to have originated as a slang term used by
underground boxers in the southeastern United States, when
an actual description of an attack may not be appropriate in
conversation.
