I'm looking for the name of a comedy trope where two characters are face-to-face at close range, and after Character One finishes talking/yelling, Character Two wipes his or her face off.
It feels like something that would happen in a military comedy, after Drill Sergeant Nasty finishes yelling at his recruits. Or something that would happen after a Sadist Teacher was yelling at you. It also seems like it would be closely related to the phrase, "Say it, don't spray it."
