A '''slug''' is like a [[The Teaser|teaser]] that summarizes a show. Not typically used in anything other than news TV and radio, but occasionally seen in entertainment. Example:
 
{{quote| "Flooding has claimed three lives in anywhereville, [[Film At Eleven|please tune in for details]]". }}
 
For syndicated shows, the slug may be a short episode synopsis that the local station gets in the syndication deal. The local station will tack on a card at the end showing the time the show will run. Example:
 
{{quote| '''Syndication Voiceover:''' "[[Hilarity Ensues]] as Bobby gets a new pet!"<br />
'''Bobby:"''' "Mom, look what I got!" ([[Laugh Track|canned laughter]])<br />
'''Syndication Voiceover:''' "On the next Show X!"<br />
'''Local Voiceover:''' "Tonight at 5 on Station X!" }}
 
Related to ''[[Tonight Someone Dies]]''.
 
Websites, news and blogs in particular, use a slug for a mnemonic URL for content. For example this exact TVTropesAll The Tropes page's slug is TheSlugThe_Slug.
