What does SLIDE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move smoothly along a surface with continuous contact rather than by stepping or rolling.
Something that slides keeps touching the surface beneath it the whole time it moves, the way a hockey puck slides across ice or a drawer slides open on its runners. The same word also names the playground structure children slide down and a single photographic image shown one at a time in a presentation. Because the motion is smooth and low-friction, slide often implies ease or lack of control, as when a car slides on a wet road.
How SLIDE is used
Used as both a verb and a noun, in everyday, technical and sporting contexts alike.
- The children took turns racing down the slide.
- Her papers began to slide off the desk in the breeze.
- He let the car slide gently into the parking space.
- The presenter moved to the next slide before anyone could ask a question.
