Phrasal Verb
Phrasal verbs, also called two-word verbs, are idiomatic expressions wherein the second element of the verb (the adverb or particle) is not necessarily predictable.

Meaning / Example:
1. and slip by someone or something to move by someone or something quickly or unnoticed; to move through a tight area or past someone or something in a tight area.

2. [for time] to pass quickly or unnoticed.
