sliding in
Barely making it
Sliding in refers to making an uninvited approach, especially sending a direct message to someone on social media with romantic or sexual intent: He slid into her DMs at 2 AM.
The phrase suggests smooth, stealthy movement—arriving in someone's inbox without prior connection.
It can also mean joining a conversation or situation casually: Mind if I slide in here?
