Séduction exercée sur une femme. Est d’un degré plus relevé que le “levage,” en ce sens que la femme “tapée” songe moins à ses intérêts qu’au plaisir qu’elle aura.—Dict. d’Argot.
Tapage, borrowing money, “breaking shins.”
Tapamort, m. (popular), drummer.
Tapance, f. (popular), mistress or wife. Literally a thing made to be beaten. Termed a “tart” in the English slang, as appears from the following:—
Two bally black eyes!
Oh! what a surprise!
And that only for kissing another man’s tart.
Two bally black eyes.
Music-hall Song.
La —— du meg, the employer’s wife.
