Usage Note
Slip is a borrowing from English but has a narrower meaning in French: it specifically denotes tight-fitting briefs or bikini-style underpants for either sex. French slip de bain means 'swimming briefs'. Don't confuse it with combinaison (full slip/underdress).
Examples
"Il ne restait plus que son slip."
Natural Translation
He had nothing left but his underpants.
