Slamming is a slang term for a very bad marketing ploy used by lots of telephone solication teams several years ago. They would sign you up even though you said no and that would give them credit for a sale and they would be paid but it left you to untangle the mess. Here is what the website listed below has to say about it.
Slamming
"Slamming" is the illegal practice of changing a consumer's telephone service - local, intralata service, or interlata service (including state to state, in state and international long distance) - without permission. The Commission's slamming liability rules provide a remedy if you've been slammed and take the profit out of slamming for telephone companies. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau will also take action against slammers. These rules apply to slamming violations that occur on or after November 28, 2000. (For slamming violations that occurred before that date, you can still file a complaint with the Commission. See information telephone number listed below.)

Telephone slamming is an illegal telecommunications practice of changing subscribers' telephone service without their consent. In the most common scenario regarding slamming, an employee of a telephone company (usually a telemarketer making outbound calls to prospective clients) will submit an order to change carriers to the local exchange carrier without the approval of the customer. Slamming has traditionally meant the selection of another long-distance carrier without the subscriber's consent; however, as the market has expanded, and choice of local long-distance service and local service providers has increased over the last 10 years, there have been some instances of slamming for those services as well. There have also been cases of slamming for secondary services (such as voice mail, etc.) .... From Wikipedia

slamming is an 80's name for punk dancing where people run into each other like football linebackers in a big circle, in the 90's it was called a mosh pit.
Then there is the poetry slam where people try to entertain a crowd with their wits and words to beat others in juried competition like on American Idol, only for poetry.
Maybe neither of these. You should provide context for you q.
