Slip-off slope
The slip-off slope is the inside bank of a meander on a river where sedimentary material is deposited as a result of the slower flow rate. It is on the opposite side of the channel to a river-cut cliff  or cut bank which is formed by the erosive forces of the stronger current on that side. The terms are used in connexion with the formation of meanders on a river.
