** Parodied in "WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3luD3qdbfI]]," Porky and Daffy from the 1940's, where Daffy, after being slapped and challenged by the manager of the Broken Arms Hotel ("You have insulted me! We meet on the field of honor! MyCard."), he returns suit ("You have insult me!

Therefore, striking a person with your glove was a way to ''demand'' the other person duel you.
