when you start accelerating, the rpm rises but the car isn't moving forward at a linear rate. (also called slipping).

I was going to say the same thing, just not as technical...

When your motor goes "WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHRRRRRRUUUUUNNNN!!" and you don't move forward. Followed by a horrific smell.

yeah if the pedal movement starts getting soft, thats bad news. also if you wait long enough, the pedal will just sink to the floor and won't come back up(im not too sure about this, happened to my friends car though).
