salami slices
Pepperoni's Italian cousin
Salami slices are thin rounds cut from a salami, the cured Italian sausage.
The phrase appears in salami slicing, a technique of achieving something through many small, incremental actions rather than one decisive move—each slice seems negligible, but they add up.
The term applies to fraud (skimming tiny amounts repeatedly), politics (gradual territorial expansion), and any strategy of accumulation by imperceptible steps.
