Slick Meaning in English
word
释义
If something is slick, it can be smooth and shiny, or slippery because it is wet or oily. It can also describe someone or something that seems very polished, clever, and professional, sometimes in a way that feels insincere.
用法与细微差别
Common with surfaces: 'slick roads', 'slick hair', 'slick with oil'. For style or media, 'slick' often means polished and impressive: 'a slick presentation'. For people, it can be positive (confident, smooth) or negative (too smooth, manipulative). Don't confuse it with only meaning 'good-looking'.
