Default English vocabulary question

English is not my mother tongue.

We all know what wrestling is.

What would you describe at the best word in English to describe the way some people / kids / animals not really wrestle together, but tease themselves in a playful way?
You know, that type of attitude or move when two friends may be sitting on the grass and one of them suddenly apply an SGP to the other just for a few secs on then release it. Or those couples in bed kissing and suddenly one of them roll the other over to be lying on top...

What is the English word for that, the one meaning "to fight in a playful way just for a few seconds"? You know, that type of "wrestling start that does not really go into a match that some people do when they are at the beach or in their garden under the sun"?
- To heckle?
- To make a racket?
- to play up?

Same word in American English and British English?

'Tussle' or 'scuffle' might be what you're after.

I usually use a combination of the two mentioned- playful tussle.

I am german, so english is also not my mother-tongue, but before I read the answers, the word "tussle" came directly into my mind. So I believe it is common sense.

"Scuffle" would be closer if you want one word. A tussle is also brief but indicates serious fighting, while scuffle is considered more playful or at least not intense.

Thanks a a lot.

So do you say:
- "Scuffle" or "scuffle together"?
- "Tussle" or "tussle together"?
- A girl tussles with / against her boyfriend?

You would say:

"She got into a scuffle with her boyfriend."

If you want to use "together" with it, you would say:

"They scuffled together" or "They began scuffling together"

Scuffle usually implies minor malicious intent, the most appropriate would be playfighting
