A self-inflicted version of the DopeSlap, this is when a character hits herself softly on the head, winks, and sticks her tongue out after tripping, dropping or doing some other mistake in acknowledgement of her blooper. As it is considered a [[{{UsefulNotes/Kawaisa}} childish]] and [[{{Moe}} endearing]] mannerism, this gesture is most often employed by a [[CuteClumsyGirl klutz]], [[{{Kawaiiko}} the overly cute]], or TheDitz; though it may also be used ironically, to feign innocent clumsiness. Though the female pronoun is used throughout this article, this trope is not AlwaysFemale and can be found, for instance, in many a {{Keet}}'s repertoire or someone deliberately going for the dissonance factor between appearance and behavior.
