Huh? I don't understand this one either. People speak a very peculiar dialect where you are, Jeezle. - Gekkosan, Feb 26, 2011

With the sense of "briefs", it might be a borrowing from French. "le slip" was the common term in France as much as fifty years ago for the "streamlined" bathing suits (for men) that came into fashion about then.
