For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of the earliest references, Jno, was to a large salmon...in much the same way the earliest references to 'flappers' were to birds (feathery ones). Easy enough to see, I think, why such a thing as a salmon would be called a 'slapper'...ie it flops and wallops around after being caught. Similarly, presumably, large ladies were considered to be such as 'flopped' and 'walloped' around as well!
