What is Slam Books?
1.
Books which would contain a person or teacher topic of some sort and was passed around where other students would write mean or harshful comments about them. In other words, "slamming" them, hence the term. They came around the 1940's and have since been forgotten and are mainly nationally banned. Virtual slam books are publicised on the internet where a question will be asked and the original "book" will be returned to the author, filled in.
The origin of the name can be:
To slam students, or other faculty.
Or the book was slammed when the teacher was near.
Me: I heard Jen has spread like wildfire on the slam books.
