It may be slippery

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slope

'it may be slippery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for slope that I've seen before include "Poles for gradient" , "Be inclined" , "A rise, possibly" , "decamp" , "Slant" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
