Kabedon

Common card · No. 258768

Kabedon or kabe-don (Japanese: 壁ドン; kabe, "wall", and don, "bang") refers to the action of slapping a wall fiercely, which produces a loud sound, "don". One use of this phrase is to describe the action of slapping a wall as a protest in collective housing, such as condominiums, when the neighboring unit makes too much noise. Another use often appears in shōjo manga or anime when one character forces another against the wall with one hand or leans against the wall, making the "don" sound. This has become a popular tool to invoke the "clever move of confession" trope and for creating an intimate atmosphere.
