Relating to movement of physical matter

• Slip (pedestrian), when a pedestrial heel strikes the floor and there is insufficient friction to prevent the heel from sliding and the pedetrian from falling.
• Slip (aerodynamic), an aerodynamic state in which an aircraft is moving sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow
