The gatling slap or gatling-slap is a series of blindingly rapid slaps, usually applied to the face.
Somebody told me he liked DmC: Devil May Cry's commentary on how society is corrupt and how Obama is just a puppet, just like every other ruler. He also told me that the Illuminati are behind everything. I subsequently gatling slapped him like a true boss. Like Big Boss.

Simple-mindedly and transparently trying to appear tough or 'cool', for the sake of being provocative and/or offensive.
Usually, this is done to disguise the fact that otherwise, that person or thing is not at all - intellectually or otherwise - provocative.

The main protagonist of the video game DmC: Devil May Cry is a good example of an edgy character. Instead of allowing himself to be perceived as cool or tough by others through doing impressive things, he needs to resort to heavy cursing and macho posturing. In doing so, it becomes clear to the viewer that the character itself is probably trying desperately to seem cooler than they are.
In stark contrast, the protagonist of previous games in the series was considered cool because of his wit, carefree attitude, and refusal to be intimidated. If he too attempted to make himself look cool, at least those attempts were cloaked better, and didn't try to be overtly provocative.
