To answer your question, if I didn't know the guy well, I'd
stop my boleo before hitting his leg.  If he's a friend or
if we've been playing a little while during the tanda, I'd
smack away.  I'd say it's a trust issue.  Can't say that
I've been led to hit the guy's leg much, though, during
milongas.

This thread reminds me of something I heard a few years
ago.  It used to be that men in BsAs would hang their keys
from belt or pants.  And the women would try to hit the
keys to get them to jingle during boleos and possibly
ganchos.  Anyone else familiar with that?
