A slug is like a teaser that summarizes a show. Not typically used in anything other than news TV and radio, but occasionally seen in entertainment. Example:
"Flooding has claimed three lives in anywhereville, 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:
Syndication Voiceover: "Hilarity Ensues as Bobby gets a new pet!" |
Related to Tonight Someone Dies.
Websites, news and blogs in particular, use a slug for a mnemonic URL for content. For example this exact All The Tropes page's slug is The_Slug.
