To slip a stitch is to pass it from one needle to the other without working into it. Various methods of decreasing (and many stitch patterns) require stitches to be slipped either knitwise or purlwise. The way you slip a stitch will affect the final appearance.

Slip one knitwise (sl1, Sl1, s1p, or S1p)
Slipping a stitch knitwise causes it to twist.
