The meaning of the adjective “slinky” I read a novel by John Irving where the word “slinky” was used several times. I understand the meaning of “slinky” when it’s used about a dress or about movement. But there were a couple of instances where I’m not sure exactly what it means: 1. “She had a slinky figure” 2. “She could imagine how perfect those salmon-pink shoes looked on a slinky blonde.” 3. “She wore a dress of a slinky material.” Thanks a lot for your help!
