Phrase | to slip out |
Text | The phrase "to slip out," in this podcast, means to say something by accident: "I didn't want to tell him that I like him, but it just slipped out." This phrase can also be used to talk about physical things, like when you accidentally let go of something you are holding or something falls out of your hand: "The pot slipped out of my hand when I was carrying it across the backyard." The phrase is also used informally to mean to leave a place quietly, without many people knowing: "I didn't know Dan left the room. He must have slipped out through the backdoor." Or, "The speech was so boring that during the middle of it, my friend and I slipped out." |
