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.

What is "slip"?
Slip is a liquid mixture of clay and water used for decorating or joining pieces of pottery. It has a creamy consistency and can be applied to the surface of clay objects to create designs or as a coating before firing. Slip can also be used to attach handles or other parts to ceramic pieces. Once the ceramic piece is fired in a kiln, the slip becomes a permanent part of the finished object.
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.
