Osee  +  715582 Mon, 04 May 09 11:56 PM Chandler let it slip that Ross was in love with Rachel.   I heard this in Friends. May I know what's that phrase mean? BTW, Can I equivalently say this: Chandler slipped that Ross was in love with Rachel?   Thanks. Osee Relationships, Friendships, Friends

	Best answer by Mr Wordy  +  715667 Tue, 05 May 09 12:47 AM "let it slip" = revealed, usually unintentionally.   So, Chandler didn't intend to tell anyone that Ross was in love with Rachel, but he accidentally did.   You can't say "Chandler slipped that Ross was in love with Rachel". This isn't idiomatic.   Mr Wordy
