When you "let it slide", it means you are negligent and don't really bother of something that happened. It can also mean to forgive something. Here are some examples of "let it slide". Ex: You are late, but since today is the first class, I will just let it slide. Ex: That girl gets irritated by every single thing. She will never let it slide.
