pimp slapping

Degrading theatrical slap

Pimp slapping is slapping someone with an open hand, typically across the face, in a hard, dismissive manner meant to humiliate.

The term evokes the stereotypical image of a pimp disciplining a prostitute.

It often appears as a threat or boast: I will pimp slap you if you don't shut up.

The phrase suggests contemptuous dominance rather than a fair fight.
