What does SLICK mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Smooth and glossy, often slippery, or impressively skilful and polished in manner or execution.
A slick road surface offers poor grip because it is smooth and wet, while a slick presentation is polished to the point of feeling almost too smooth, hinting at glib salesmanship. The adjective covers both a physical texture and a manner of doing things with practised, effortless-looking skill. As a noun, a slick can also refer to a patch of oil floating on water.
