Swaffelen - a Dutch term meaning to hit one's penis—often repeatedly—against an object or another person's body.
The act of swaffelen often takes place in the form of teasing, crude humour or a degrading context, but can also be a sexual act. When the act is practised on a person, it is often the person's cheek that is hit. The penis is ideally semi-erect during the act.
The term got a lot of media attention in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2008 when a Dutch student swaffeled the Taj Mahal and posted a video of it on YouTube.
The BNN TV program Spuiten en Slikken subsequently encouraged viewers to submit videos of other objects being swaffeled. Included among the submitted videos were the swaffeling of the Royal Palace of Amsterdam and the Basilica of Saint Servatius in Maastricht.
The TV program also called for the declaration of a National Swaffel Day.
In addition, Swaffelen was named word of the year in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2008.
