To disrespectfully slap someone in the face with an open hand. The implication is that the person being slapped is not manly enough to be worthy of a real punch. Term is used figuratively to mean putting someone in their place (or diss) in no uncertain terms.

Contrary to most definitions, the “bitch” is describing the “slap” rather than the destination.

A Bitch Slap is a sharp, openhanded, stinging, yet generally benign slap – similar to being slapped by a bitch. When you “bitch slap” someone, you are slapping him or her like a woman would! Scratching, hair pulling, cursing, and crying generally follow a well-placed bitch slap.

Beware, this oft-confused term has resulted in many pimps calling themselves bitches rather than describing their abuse.

This structure of the descriptor preceding the verb is also used in the “Pimp Slap”. To “Pimp Slap” does NOT mean that you’re slapping someone like you would slap your pimp – rather a pimp slap is to slap like a pimp does.

How to perform:

Imagine some bitch just called out your fake Louis Vuitton shoes and hat just to make your baby’s daddy laugh at your cheap ass.

Raise your right hand above your head, elbow bent, and pretend you are throwing a baseball like a girl. Open palm comes down in a chopping motion to the cheek and jaw of your victim. Twist your shoulders into the attack for maximum effect.

There are many written variations defining the term "Bitch Slap," and for the most part they stand correct, --- for this world of Hip Hop culture. However, this form of issued embarrassment actually comes from a French method of instilled belittlement without the use of barbarism. The slap upon the face with kid leather gloves would suffice as getting the message across.

All of the above are pussy-fied ghetto and barrio ways to use the Bitch Slap..., they only use it amongst their own! See below for true usage:

The French Canadians are said to have taught the North American native Indian nations this social behavior. They had not, -- these North American indigenous peoples are the original true users of a "Bitch Slap." With the recently borrowed French word "Coup," they had "Counted coup" upon their enemy for hundred of years before hip-hop culture or Cypress Hill acting Chicanos ever had. See Urban Dictionary definition of the term "Counting coup."
Said the Idealist leader of an upstart gang, "Get my coup stick, I'm gonna walk into Compton and give every Crypt I see a bitch slap!"
