SLIP-1: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend.
Last Tuesday we looked at the expression slip your mind, and this week we have decided to do a series about expressions with SLIP.
Today's expression is: LET SOMETHING SLIP
It means: to give someone information that is supposed to be secret.
It is a synonym of last week's expression, spill the beans.
Example 1:
Despite being pressured, he tried not to let slip what he knew about the new marketing project.
Example 2:
I accidentally let it slip that he had given me more than 1,000.00€ for the car.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
