Can anyone tell me a typical example of a immoveable and a slightly moveable joint? Not to "CLEVER" I am blonde...

The skull has a number of immovable joints. At least while you are young.
The breastbone has to be slightly movable so you can breathe.

Other immovable joints:
Sacroilliac joint (where the pelvis joins the lower spine)
Symphisys pubis - front of the pelvis, where the 2 halves join
Slightly movable joints (involved in breathing)
Sternochondral joints - where the ribs meet the sternum
Costovertebral joints - where the ribs meet the spine

The skull is fused with immovable joints.
The pubic symphesis is a slightly moveable joint.

joints in the skull are immoveable. Where the pieces of the skull grow together in infancy.

I suppose that a "slightly movable" joint would be the joints in your spine.
