slide definition and meaning

What is a "slide"?

A slide is a movable part found on certain brass instruments, such as trombones and slide trumpets. It is used to change the length of the instrument's tubing, which alters the pitch of the notes produced. By extending or retracting the slide, the musician can adjust the instrument's pitch smoothly and play a range of notes without the need for valves. The slide mechanism allows for greater control over pitch and tuning, and it is a key feature for creating smooth transitions between notes.

(lacrosse) a defensive player leaving their assigned opponent to cover another player who is potentially a threat to score

What is a "slide"?

In lacrosse, a slide is a defensive move where a player helps their teammate by quickly shifting from their assigned area to cover an attacking player. This usually happens when the original defender is beaten by an attacker, and the defender slides over to prevent the attacker from getting an easy shot or pass. The sliding player must be quick and aware, as they need to close the gap and stop the offensive play. A successful slide can disrupt the attack and create an opportunity for the defense to regain control of the game.
