A slide is the smallest divisible unit of a deck. You might be expected to “talk to your slide” during your slot — being minutes 315-320 — of an Opco or Steerco. That should not mean reading the godforsaken thing out in a low monotone, by the way. But for most legal eagles dispensing CPD points, seems to.

Hence the street expression, “talk to my slide, yo” which is often uttered by hoppers on the corners of neighbourhoods of Baltimore.
