happy slapping

"Happy slapping" refers to a form of physical assault, typically involving a young person slapping or attacking someone while recording the act on a video or camera phone. The phrase gained popularity in the early 2000s, particularly in the United Kingdom, when incidents of young individuals deliberately assaulting strangers for entertainment purposes became increasingly common. The name "happy slapping" stems from the perceived enjoyment or amusement the attackers derive from the act, while the victims are caught off guard and generally not provoking any conflict.
