slithering
Slithering refers to the sliding, gliding, or smooth movement often exhibited by snakes or similar creatures. It typically involves a continuous wave-like motion, sometimes side-to-side or in a spiraling motion, enabling the creature to move across a surface without limbs. The term can also be used metaphorically for any action that mirrors this sinuous, stealthy movement.
