slippy is definitely not a word I've ever heard someone use before, so I guess you could call it a "dead word"

they mean the same thing except that slippy isn't the formal word(so its used in informal situations like with friends or just people you know) " slippery " is the correct one.

@liah16111 Really? I've never heard this before. Is it slang? A regional word, if so, where?

No native speakers use the word “slippy”. Until you said it’s in the dictionary, I didn’t even think it was a word. It’s also not slang. “Slippy steps” sounds extremely strange. If you said that people would probably question what slippy is. Just say slippery

Could be a British thing. No one in Canada/the US says this

It’s a word but slippery is used more often. They have the same meaning :)

@naturallyinsane Weird. I never knew that. If I heard someone say that here in the states, I'd give them a really weird look and probably laugh. Good to know. Thanks!
