Adj. To tap or rap (with your fingers or a pen, for example) repetitively on a desk, keyboard or other solid object. Done in order to cause annoyance to
other people close by to you, especially at work or school where you need to
concentrate. Invariably perpetrated by people who think
it's cool to do so, along with other annoying habits such as pen clicking.
