Failing to see the wordplay here :

A minor strike whichever way you look at it:

T+P

So logic says can only be TAP, TOP, TIP or TUP - but which and why!

[thistles]

I put in tap, as you give someone a light tap on the shoulder, which is a strike.

[Psybbo]

tap and pat minor strikes

[Oldred]

tap - reversed is pat, still a minor strike

[chelle7272]

Yes tap
Whichever way you look at it - pat / tap

[mallyh]

pat tap backwards

[Baldric]

TAP/PAT
