Dead slapper?  Dead Slapper! Kneasy are you British and know the 
definition of that word?  

If so, you should know better.  Lily was hardly a 'slapper'. Many 
things perhaps but not a slapper. Not in my imagination anyway.  Now 
Lavender Brown might have slapper potential.  

If you don't know a Slapper is a female who is very loose. Worse than 
a tart or even slag. 

Could translate into tramp but more likely to be Ho although there is 
no true American equivalent that I know off.

The accurate definition is rather adult and I don't know I could get 
away with posting on the thread.
