Figurative hit "on the wrist" or "in the face" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slap

(Other definitions for slap that I've seen before include "Hit with an open hand" , "Hit with a flat hand" , "Blow, maybe in the face" , "Blow with open hand" , "Strike with the palm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
