Slap on the wrist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuff

I believe this is a double definition.

'slap' is the first definition.
(I know that cuff is a more specific form of the action slap)

'on the wrist' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for cuff that I've seen before include "Part of a shirt sleeve - hit" , "clout" , "Turned-back hem to sleeve" , "Blow; end of sleeve" , "Smack; end of shirt sleeve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
