English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)
Did it SKIP or SLIP your mind?
I didn’t tell you because it ~skipped~ my mind (nonstandard).
I didn’t tell you because it *slipped* my mind (standard).
If something slips your mind, you forget it.
You can also say:
It *slipped* my memory (standard).
When someone skips, they jump up and down over a rope:
The children were *skipping* and singing a rhyme (standard).
