Occasionally, the bitch won't have your money
If you've seen a lot of old movies (can't recommend it -- they move at a glacier's pace) you've seen a lot of slapping. Joan Crawford or Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck were always slapping John Wayne or Clark Gable or Errol Flynn. I also recall Jack Nicholson switching it up and giving Faye Dunaway a pretty good one in Chinatown.
You don't see many slaps in contemporary American film. I guess this is because we tend to take domestic violence more seriously these days.
But leave it to Iran's King of Comedy Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to bring back the slap --threatening a "historic slap" for anyone who dares tread on the Islamic Republic.
Ahmadinedejad should be warned that a sovereign nation would likely react more aggressively to a slap than the veiled women he's been dealing with in the past.
That being said, the first step to a strong pimp hand is believing you have a strong pimp hand.

You left out the best slapper of all: Bogey. As just one example, he slaps the crap out of Peter Lorre in Maltese Falcon.
The beauty of Bogey is that he would slap a guy or a gal.
Do you think he'll record the "historic slap" on his cell phone camera, like those thrill-seeking teenagers in the UK? (I believe they call it "happy slapping.")
