How to use "Slick" in context?
Slick is a word often associated with sleek modern design but its meaning goes much further back in history. Originally the word referred to a type of oil or fat used for lubrication. It was eventually used to describe a smooth or slippery surface. Slick-papers, for example, were papers that were coated with a slick substance so they would slide easily off of a writing surface. Slick also has a figurative meaning, which is when something is easy to understand or do. In business, a slick sales pitch is one that is smooth and easy to follow.
