Similar in effect to the spiritual cleansing or rebirth of denominations which practice Water Baptism, Sidewalk Baptisms differ in that they are spontaneous, involuntary, and predicated by violence.

A Sidewalk Baptism occurs when one, who was once flippantly hostile, becomes humble and de-escalatory upon receiving a demoralizing or defeating blow.

You will recognize a Sidewalk Baptism by the subject's sudden desire to be cleansed of their sins, be reborn, or otherwise gain the acceptance of the community.

After fucking a chick on the rag, you coat your thumb in the blood on your dick, tap it to her forehead as she goes down to clean up the mess. Also called an AISLE 5 BAPTISM
I met this chick lastnight and she started her period while we were fucking. I gave her a Hindu Baptism to bless her before she "cleaned me up".
