What is order slip?

Answer 1

The document, bill or invoice which shows the details of your order: Item, Item number, size, color, amount (how many you ordered) price, shipping instructions, etc. Also, the American English word, "slip" has seveal meanings. In your case, "order slip" the word slip means a small piece of writing paper or note. English can be confusing in this way--several meanings for the same word, depending on the context. Explore the word, "context," which when understood, gives us a clue to which meaning. For examples: "Boat Slip" can't mean a piece of paper. It means a designated place to moor (park) a boat on the water. Another meaning, is a verb (action word): "Be careful, or you'll slip (fall down), the ground is wet here." By seeing the whole sentence (context) you have a clue to this particular meaning of "slip." Also, a bit slangy (vernacular, idiomatic): Why don't you "slip into" something more comfortable? (Suggest to change clothing). Yes, English words are sometimes difficult in this way, especially when you consider that Amercian English words can mean something different in Britain, Australia, other English-speaking countries. But if one tries hard enough, this can be mastered. See Encarta World English Dictionary for the various uses of the same word in different English dialects, countries. Afterthought: A "slip" or "slip-up" means an error or mistake. There are probably other meanings too. Too this way means "also," or "as well" (often more common in British English), two this way means the number, 2. To this way means someting else, can you find out what? Those three ways to spell and say Two, too, to (all correct) are called homonyms. The ways in which "slip" can mean different things, all spelled the same, are called synomyms. Words that that have opposite meanings are called antonyms. Can you find these words in an English dictionary?
