Enid Blyton's "Dame Slap the Teacher" in the Faraway Tree series

Not having read that particular series of books, my thought process when I read your comment went:

1) "Dame slap"? Is that a classier, more aristocratic equivalent of the expression "to bitch slap" someone?

2) If so, I really don't remember that kind of thing in Blyton books.Did my parents shield me from the ruder editions?

3) In what other ways was my childhood excessively sheltered???? Did you lie to me, Mother???

Thank you for that short existential crisis.
