What is a "slip"?

A slip is a type of undergarment that is typically worn by women underneath dresses or skirts. It is a lightweight and often silky garment that is designed to be worn between the body and the outer clothing. Slips come in various lengths, ranging from mini to full length, and are usually made from materials such as nylon, silk, or cotton. They are often fitted at the top and flared at the bottom, allowing them to be worn comfortably under a variety of clothing styles. Slips serve several functions, including providing an additional layer of coverage and smoothing out the lines of the outer garment. They can also help to prevent the outer garment from clinging to the body or from becoming transparent in certain lighting conditions.

first slip, champ slip

a fielding position in cricket close to the wicket-keeper, typically used for catching edges from the batsman

What is a "slip"?

In cricket, a slip is a fielding position close to the batter, positioned just behind and to the side of them, usually on the off side. The player in the slip is ready to catch the ball if it is hit lightly by the batter, typically when trying to defend against a fast or spinning ball. The position is important for catching balls that are edged or deflected off the bat but do not go directly to the wicketkeeper. The fielder in the slip is often part of a group of players, with multiple slips standing next to each other in case the ball is hit in that direction.

Example

The slip was alert and took three catches in the session.

The ball flew off the edge and straight into the hands of the slip.

The fast bowler induced an edge, and it went straight to second slip.
