<No, a _bitch slap_ is a slap given _to_ a bitch, and is synonymous with _pimp slap,_ a slap given _from_ a pimp. I assume _dope slap_ refers to the recipient.> That could very well be the normal meaning of "bitch slap" (I'm not contesting that), but the context in which the expression was used was a female judge putting down a male lawyer.
