Name for a March-May Blizzard, one day it's nice, sunny and 70 degrees, the next day it's a white-out. The weather bitch slaps your brain, and makes it difficult to concentrate, among other things in Colorado that are already distracting you, for example, legalized Marijuana.
Man, I was going to go for a killer climb, hike and bike today, but we've experienced a Colorado Bitchslap, so I'm going to do nothing, except watch my car experience a Colorado Carwash.
A benchslap is when a judge humiliates an attorney, insults another judge, or reverses a lower court in a particularly demeaning manner. A judicial bitch slap, if you will. This term was popularized by David Lat of AboveTheLaw.com (when he was blogging for UnderneathTheirRobes.com).

The literal and/or metaphoric slapping or whacking someone in order to knock some sense into them.
