Startup Piston Slap questions

What exactly is piston slap? Do the sides of the pistons hit the cylinder walls? Why is it more obvious at startup vs. when the engine is running?
If you pull the plugs on all cylinders, would piston slap still be evident? Or would the lack of compression prevent it from occurring (wondering if that is a good diagnostic tool for determining if what you are hearing is really slap).
Thanks,
