Where does the word 'slapper' come from? It seems to have only come into common usage in the last ten years but I still can't figure out where it came from.

Comes from Irish 'Sliobaire' which means dirty.

The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang & Unconventional English by Tom Dalzell & Terry Victor (publ. Routledge 2005), suggests it's possible etymology derives from "Slap" - make-up or the sound of flesh on flesh.
The Oxford English Dictionary records it in 1988 questions the possibility that it derives from the Yiddish "Schlepper" meaning an unkempt, scruffy person; gossipy, dowdy.
