Explanation:

• The expressions here involve various forms of physical actions using the verb “atmak” (to throw), which is idiomatically used to describe these actions in Turkish.
• For example:
  • Kafa atmak literally means “to throw a head,” but it means “to headbutt.”
  • Tokat atmak means “to slap,” where tokat is the noun for “slap,” and atmak is used figuratively.

Such constructions are common in Turkish and often combine an object (like “tokat”) with the verb “atmak” to describe specific actions.
