👉 'Slippery Slope' is the term commonly used to describe how quickly change spreads and becomes permanent without enough time for people to adjust. For instance, let's consider a situation where someone decides to drop dead. This would be described as 'dropping dead', a slang word often used in the context of death or dying.
Let's say a person is about to take their last breath, but instead of preparing thoroughly for it, they fall flat on their face. This can happen when people do not prepare well before experiencing life's ups and downs, leading to feelings of loss and sadness. So 'drop dead' in this context is used as an understatement or euphemism that describes the moment when someone suddenly passes away without any preparation or planning.
