noogie

Polish translation: zrobić czochrańca/zrobić czochrańca pięścią

English term or phrase: noogie
CONTEXT:
John Smith is challenging a 10-month suspension from Lynbrook High School for channeling his inner Bill Murray and delivering a fistful of noogies to his Spanish teacher's scalp.

Does anybody know any Polish equivalent?
Back in Poland, we had "pięściówy" - ciosy pięścią w ramię, and "kokosy", in Dominican Spanish: cocotazo;-) - ciosy pięścią w czubek głowy... Noogies are a little different...

DEFINITION:
The noogie is a favorite tactic among bullies and older siblings. It involves trapping the victim in a headlock, while rubbing the middle knuckles of the fingers across the top of the victim's skull quickly and firmly.

Dziękuję. Noogie przypomina nieco czochrańca pięścią, dlatego tę drugą opcję wybrałem. ;-)
