slip
Mistake or undergarment
Slip has substantial overlap in meaning with slide, with the added feature that slip often suggests things that are accidental or undesirable.
You can slip and fall on ice; time (or people) can slip away quickly without you noticing them.
If something slips your mind, you forget it, often regrettably.
A slip is an instance of slipping, and several other things, such as a small piece of paper; a mistake in speech or writing; a development for the worse; and a woman’s undergarment, worn like a dress or skirt.
