1. The equivalent of clapping in ice hockey, in which a player literally taps his stick against the ice, boards or glass to create a clapping sound. As with clapping, this is generally a congratulatory gesture, or sometimes a sign of respect or encouragement (as with a player leaving the rink with an injury).

2. Outside of the actual playing of hockey, the term may be used as above, or to give a shout-out, recognition, etc. for pretty much any reason. In this case, when used in writing (as in message boards, blogs, etc.) the term is often abbreviated as s/t.

Pronounced like "Tigger," a Teaguer specifically refers to a person born and raised on Chincoteague Island, VA (Chincoteague itself is pronounced like "Shin'-co-teeg", but locals cram it into two syllables, like "Shinc-tee"). Chincoteague is a tourist town located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, known for the wild ponies that live on nearby Assateague Island. Teaguers are fiercely proud of the fact that they're from where they're from, for some reason, and call anyone that has not been born and raised on Chincoteague "come heres," while referring to themselves as "from heres." Teaguers also have a distinct variation of the Southern accent.
