slating
Covering with tiles
Slating is the work of covering a roof with slates—flat pieces of stone used as roofing material.
More commonly, slating is harsh criticism, especially in British English: The film got a slating from the critics.
To give something a slating is to criticize it severely, often publicly.
In American English, slating also means scheduling or designating for a position: Three candidates are slated for interviews.
