Question

ESLPod_0516_WE_0707 Naming and Appointing Officials In this podcast, the phrase "to let slip" means to accidentally share a secret, or to say something that one shouldn't have said because the information shouldn't be shared: "How could you let it slip that he's thinking of quitting his job? That was supposed to be a secret!" A "pink slip" is a small piece of paper letting one know that one has been fired from one's job: "The company is giving out hundreds of pink slips and closing the factory." A "slip of the tongue" happens when one uses the wrong word and says something else by accident: "I meant to say, 'she's fun,' but I accidentally said, 'she's fat.' It was just a slip of the tongue!" Finally, a "slip" is a narrow piece of paper: "Where did you put the order slip for table #3?"
