slipperier
Even harder gripping
Slipperier is the comparative form of slippery—more likely to cause sliding or loss of grip.
A surface can be slipperier than another: The marble floor was slipperier than I expected.
The word extends to figurative uses: a slipperier argument is harder to pin down, a slipperier politician more evasive.
