      Originally, that’s probably how they started putting those words together in that order.

      I’m talking about the idiom of it being applied to anything that isn’t a literal slope that’s slippery. Like using it to describe that doing thing a will very easily create a situation where another thing is likely to happen.

      Eg: smoking weed is a slippery slope to using harder drugs.

      (It’s not, but I’m sure we’ve all heard some version of the above before.)
