A term coined by west coast Hip-Hop artist Anilyst. His song Triple Threat, which recieved over 7 million hits on youtube, is the first song to demonstrate "Syllable Sliding"…he describes it as "a form of rap that is more elaborate than the average way of rhyming….it’s the ability to rhyme each and every syllable in a bar with the other syllables in the next bar while still having it make sense and be clear, and while projecting subliminal messages and endless metaphors. This is Syllable Sliding.” He even rightfully named his first album "Syllable Sliding Vol. 1".

Constantly replying with "yea. No. Sure. K. Nice. Kden" and other such meaningless and mostly non existing words. It is a great way to get even your friends to hate you

Phrase used when advising somebody of facts /an issue /and explanation (etc) using the most simplest of words in order that they may understand.
Often associated with 'full and frank conversation' the phrase 'words of one syllable or less' is actually gramatically incorrect in its use of 'or less' (essentially 'or less' makes no sense whereas 'or fewer' would be correct) but nicely conveys the situation.
Believed to have originated with the staff of Britain's railways in Southern England.

Syllable Beatings is a form a punishment where the parent,guardian, friend, or figure in the active role; spanks or hits the person in the passive role(receiving), in a rhythmic fashion that aligns with the words that they are saying. For each word that is spouted out, a blow or series of blows hits the receiver for each syllable in that word.
In the most common cases of Syllable Beatings. The parent or guardian will tell the child what to do or not to do as each blow connects. The length of the sentence and beating is determined by what the child did wrong and the general mood of the parent. An upset parent and a child that made a wrong involving a noun with a more than average amount of syllables, will result in a longer beating.
In some cases however, some parents catch on to a short session of Syllable Beating, and will add additional syllables to the beating, to prolong the length of the disciplinary action.
Example:
Don't *spank* you *spank* ever *spank* break * My * Re * frig * er * a * tor * a * gain * or * I * will * beat * you * sense * less *

Tommy: My mom gave me syllable beatings last night... I should have broken a cup instead to shorten the length of the beating.
Tommy's Brother: Nah man, it didn't matter what you broke, mom was in a bad mood. She was going to make it last long no matter what!
