aslither

Slithering.

The gravel was soft and loose in the banks, and we tried to stay near the middle of the road; our rear wheel moved us all aslither, and we rode with our weight off the seat, pushed forward on the foot pedals.

One of these big boys came up to me, aslither, on his feet, no skates.

Covered (with or in something slithering or slippery).

Under the vaulted architraves [of the fish and poultry market], the white marble slabs all aslither with hunks and fillets remind you why they used to call it ‘wet fish’.

Through February and March our try-pots boiled and the decks were aslither with oil.
