I forgot to add that if you have any sort of gut or beer belly, they like to poke it and make it jiggle like the stay puffed marshmellow man.

If you're ever used IRC (Internet Relay Chat, most common client software is mIRC), you often seen /slaps, etc. I think it's Facebook's version of this and maybe the Facebook programmers / creators were IRC geeks.
