Gliding


Definition:

  • (19) Thus both explicit and implicit specifications of the horizon contribute to perception of the glide slope angle.
  • (20) The winger made Jonny Evans seem oafish as he feinted his way past him on the right and then glided 20 yards forward before racing into the box, past Jonas Olsson, and firing into the net despite an attempted block by Craig Dawson.

Sliding


Definition:

  • (a.) That slides or slips; gliding; moving smoothly.
