How to use "Nipping" in context?

Nipping is a relatively minor form of harassment which can involve touching, grabbing, or even just an occasional light tap on the shoulder. Those who experience it often feel powerless to do anything about it, partly because it can be done in a seemingly harmless way.

However, nipping can be an insidious form of harassment, because it can create an environment of fear and insecurity. It can be an indicator of a power imbalance between the perpetrator and the victim, and can contribute to a sense of vulnerability.
