A "marker" is a ring that you put on your knitting needle to mark where a pattern begins. When there is a special set of stitches, such as a cable or a popcorn pattern, you put a small marker on the needle to remind yourself where the pattern begins and ends. These markers can be anything that reminds you--a plastic ring, a different color loop of yarn, or thread on your needle. It should be loose enough to simply transfer from one needle to another. Since it is just a "place holder", you don't do anything with it except move it from one needle to another, it is a "slip" from one place to another. So when the pattern says slip marker, it simply means to move the marker from one needle to another and continue knitting.
