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.
