The internet slang term “slide” means to go or move somewhere discreetly or unnoticed. It is often used to describe sneaking into someone’s direct messages (DMs) on social media platforms. It can also refer to effortlessly approaching or flirting with someone. Here are two practical examples illustrating the use of this term:

Example 1:

I saw Mark’s new post on Instagram, and his ex-girlfriend immediately slid into his DMs to comment on it.
John wanted to get to know Sarah better, so he decided to slide into her DMs and strike up a conversation.

Example 2:

After the basketball game, Michael noticed a few girls from the opposing team sliding over to talk to his teammate.
Laura thought the guy at the coffee shop was attractive, so she gathered the courage to slide up and start a conversation.
