noun
informalNorth American
A quick, hard rub or grinding motion made on someone's head with the knuckles, usually as a rough joke.
A noogie is a piece of informal, physical teasing: the knuckles of a closed fist are pressed and twisted against the scalp, hard enough to be uncomfortable but meant playfully rather than as an attack. The word is mostly used among children, siblings and close friends in casual North American speech, and it names both the act and the momentary discomfort it causes.
