Do you think I'm "slick"?

Question

Somebody called me that. What exactly do you think they meant?

Answer 1

it means your a real sweet girl but that you can be sneaky when you hafta be.

Answer 2

To be called "Slick" is not necessarily a compliment though in some cases it can be......generally speaking it represents a person who is of the following, depending upon the situation and your attitude, such as, clever which I saw mentioned, circuitous (bending the rules and going around the rules), clever or conning, smooth as to talking your way into something and making another feel that you are doing them a favour when in fact it is you working them for a desired result.. Slick in business shows savvy and/or sometimes the person who is predicting anothers reply or actions and in an opportunistic sort of way, manipulates or strategizes to get their way. It can also imply in the word 'smooth' that they effortlessly are able to take advantage in certain cases and impress people/or someone with your wit to the advent of your procuring items, money, prestige and reputation. Slick can also mean that you are fast at thinking what is the fastest way to obtain your desired results. I think that is plenty....and remember it CAN be a compliment though rarely.

Answer 4

Hmmm, I'm hoping they meant it in a good way (like sly) but when I think of calling someone slick (Slick Willie for example regarding former president Bill Clinton) is meant as a derogatory statement as in slimy.

Answer 5

Slick, you were trying to be sly, you probably did something sneaky and thought you would be able to "slide" it past the person, hence "do you think your 'slick'?"

Answer 6

The definition of "slick" is:

Perfect in manner; sharp, attentive, having perfect answers for virtually all questions.
That about sums you up.
