Line 765:
As I understood, the meaning is generally such:
1. a written notice of demerit given to a pupil or serviceman for bad conduct. 2. An unfilled paper form, with some possible offenses pre-printed, given to a pupil or servicemаn to have on himself at all times in case a demerit should be given to him by his superior. --[[User:CopperKettle|CopperKettle]] ([[User talk:CopperKettle|talk]]) 15:51, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
*What's idiomatic about it? This is just the ordinary sense of [[slip]] as a small piece of paper (used as a token, voucher, note, or record). The same constructions exist with [[chit]]: sales slip/chit, receipt chit/slip, meal slip/chit, and so forth. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 18:26, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
