I have never heard it used in that fashion. It's always seemed to refer to a
merciless full-handed, open-palmed, on-the-cheek smack, usually undefended, often a repeated
action. That said, these days I mostly hear it used in the same knowing, winking way
that people use "wife-beater," the subtext being, "We're not *really* talking about
slapping a bitch here."

Although it's most frequently used among my peer group in a conditional sense, "I'll
bitch slap you, if you don't stop..." Nearly always a threat.
