Meaning of slanter

Noun

slanter (plural slanters)

  1. A term or turn of phrase, such as a euphemism, that puts a positive or negative slant on something.
    • Slanters turn off those you want to convince — it's like preaching to the converted. Worse, though they may work for the moment, they don't stick. Without reinforcement, the other person will remember only the joke or jibe.2000, Richard L. Epstein, The Pocket Guide to Critical Thinking, page 7
