The Slide

« Back to Glossary Index

The term “The Slide” refers to the act of casually sliding into someone’s direct messages (DMs) on social media platforms without their prior consent or invitation. It typically involves initiating a conversation or pursuing personal interaction with someone who may not be expecting or necessarily interested in such communication.

Example 1:
Person A: Hey, did you see Lisa’s new profile picture? She looks amazing!
Person B: Yeah, she does! I should totally do The Slide and send her a message complimenting her.
Person A: Be careful, man. She might find it weird if you just randomly DM her.

Example 2:
Person X: I didn’t expect to receive a message from this guy I barely know. He’s trying to do The Slide on me!
Person Y: Ugh, that’s annoying. Some people don’t understand boundaries when it comes to DMs.
Person X: Absolutely, it’s important to respect others’ space and not intrude like that.
