    Slippery Slope of Self-Esteem

    Kommentar
    I wonder if this expression is common in everyday English, and if it is considered a nice alliteration that might be well placed in a casual chat. To me it sounds as interesting as the allusion is worth a few moments of thought.

    It is from 9 Chickweed Lane:

    see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope
    for "Slippery slope"

    slippery slope “Dammbruch”
    slippery slope argument “Dammbruchargument”

    I think this expression is not common in everyday English. However this expression will be understood in the context of philosophical or psychological discourse.
