The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang & Unconventional English by Tom Dalzell & Terry Victor (publ. Routledge 2005), suggests it's possible etymology derives from "Slap" - make-up or the sound of flesh on flesh.

The Oxford English Dictionary records it in 1988 questions the possibility that it derives from the Yiddish "Schlepper" meaning an unkempt, scruffy person; gossipy, dowdy.

As your question is addressed "to all slappers", I didn't respond.

Nice Trolloppe gag, carrust.

I never knew that a Trolloppe could gag;-)

[joggerjayne]

Is that a "trollope" and "gag" gag?

[carrust]

Come to think about it, it could be in a poem by Swallow?
