Sweet bird of youth:
In the 1920s, a new woman was born. She smoked, drank, danced, and voted. She cut her hair, wore make-up, and went to petting parties. She was giddy and took risks. She was a flapper.

[T]he dictionary set me right by defining the word as a fledgling, yet in the nest, and vainly attempting to fly while its wings have only pinfeathers; and I recognized that the genius of 'slanguage' had made the squab the symbol of budding girlhood.
[F. Scott] Fitzgerald described the ideal flapper as "lovely, expensive, and about nineteen."
Can you see where this is going to go?
Let me see, flfapp- no. Fslapp- no. Fffffzzlaaaapper? Perhapper. Tlapper. Tlappers. Stlappeh - SLAPPER. That's it!
"Slapper." Used to describe a seemingly 'attractive' young girl of about nineteen-going-on-forty-nine who smokes, smears her make up and gives blowies in the back of the van. Your ideal slapper is drunk, cheap and has a classy fat back. Buy one get baby free.
