Tapia is sitting down and tapping your heel impatiently, this is known as "tapia". A lot of young guys do it, I've never seen a girl do the tapia.

I've never heard of this. You learn something new every day. I don't tap my heel, although I will sometimes tap my fingers impatiently. :ohyes:

I have to control the tapia of my right heel, or else I get too much lactic acid in the leg, and then I can't relax!

Back in the old days in my London hostel, there was a Spanish guy with the surname "Tapia", so I'd do the tapia when he entered the canteen. He was none too pleased, and I apologized and made peace.

It's unusual, but there are female tappers.

I guess it's the sort of thing that happens when a person has too much nervous energy. I've always been a terrible fidgeter, tapper, etc.
