The act of quitting one's job in flamboyant fashion, so named after Steven Slater, the JetBlue Flight Attendant who dealt with one unruly passenger too many. He cussed out the passenger on the PA, said bye-bye to a 20 year career as a flight attendant, grabbed some beer from the galley, popped the escape slide, jumped out on the tarmac, walked to his car and drove home, thus becoming an instant folk hero.
Man, I'm so fed up with this place, I'm gonna pull a Slater Slide. Fuck 'em all!
