Phrase slip
Text The word "slip," in this podcast, means a piece of underwear that is like a skirt made from very thin fabric, designed to be worn under a skirt so that light cannot be seen between a woman's legs: "Many teenage girls choose not to wear slips under their summer dresses." As a verb, "to slip," means to fall or to almost fall, sliding a short distance, usually because one stepped on something that was resting on the floor or ground: "Be careful not to slip on the icy sidewalks!" The phrase "to let (something) slip" means to say something that one was not supposed to say because it was a secret or because the other person shouldn't know about it: "Edoardo's friends were planning a surprise birthday party for him, but someone let it slip and he found out about it."
