slip of the tongue
    說溜了嘴
    slip, in this slang, means accidentally reveal (a secret, etc); say something casually,偶然泄露(秘密等);無意中說出(某事)。

    她偶然說出她還沒交稅呢。
    注意用法:let something slip that… / let slip that…
    tongue舌頭。不知大家是否還記得以前講過一個“at the tip of one's tongue”?意思是“話到嘴邊,差點說出”。
    這里,slip of the tongue意思是說溜了嘴。我們來看它的用法:
    The mayor really made a slip of the tongue!
    市長可真是說溜了嘴了!
