This is such a common experience you'd think there'd be a generic term for it. I can't find one. I just call it a static shock, but I don't think the term is accurate.

Which is correct and you'd say. You said 'I got a shock'
but can you say I got an electircal shock or static shock.
or
I touched her and got shocked.
I got a shock discharge from touching her.

Thank you
