strop

A thick length of leather attached to a metal crimp with a hook or clasp used to burnish or sharpen the blade of a straight razor
If you don't have a belt handy to whip someone you could always use a strop.

Strop

Someone who is easily agitated, throws a wobley then goes into a sulk.
These people generally are unable to communicate their feelings effectively/openly, but instead build up the thoughts inside their head then just explode.

strop

The action of a cat arching its back and rubbing against the leg of a favoured person, often weaving figure 8 patterns in a way most likely to trip that person.
"As soon as I got home, both cats immediately stropped against me, quickly turning my pantlegs into furry lint-magnets."
