 * Apparently it means "slip the marker". Don't ask me what "slip the marker" means, though. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:26, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

 * There is a video here showing how to slip a marker. I also note the possibility that slm could mean "slip left marker" - which might be the case if the pattern has required placing two or more markers. Wymspen (talk) 12:21, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
