slapped
SaySLAPT/slæpt/
- 1Simple past and past participle of slap.
The comedian slapped his knee and roared with laughter.
Waves slapped against the side of the boat all night long.
Note
One spelling does both jobs of a regular verb: the simple past (she slapped him) and the participle after have or be (he had been slapped). The final p doubles before -ed, just as it does in slapping. The participle is most at home in the passive of the figurative sense, where someone is slapped with a fine or a penalty. The intransitive use, waves slapping against a hull, has no passive at all.
