Spanish term or phrase: bofetón feliz
The text is giving an example of veiled bullying and it mentions the "bofetón feliz". I've also seen it online as the "bofetada feliz". I get it, but honestly I can't think of how we would say this in English. Thanks!!

agree  neilmac: No longer "a thing". Was in vogue for about 2 mins roughly 10 years ago. Good riddance.
