Wikipedia
sideslip
A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving somewhat sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow or relative wind. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will be pointing in the opposite direction to the bank of the wing(s). The aircraft is not in coordinated flight and therefore is flying inefficiently.

sideslip
Sideslip is a term used in aviation to describe a maneuver where an aircraft moves sideways as well as forward relative to its projected path. It happens primarily when the aircraft is subjected to crosswind. It also refers to the angular difference between the direction an aircraft is pointed (its heading) and the direction it is actually moving (its course).
