Default slipping the clutch

Well I understand everything about launches.. under certain circumstances you have to adjust the rpm point but it should always be pretty high.. i know i have to remove my clutch delay to do a launch without breaking something. But everyone is always saying "slip" the clutch... what does slippping the clutch mean? Is it different from side stepping or dropping the clutch?
Thanks

You "slip" the clutch every time you take off normally.

Actually, the delay valve is there to help prevent breaking stuff. Removing it will make it easier to break things.

If you understood "everything" about launches, you would know the answers to the following:

Moral of this story ..........................................
If you state you know "everything" about a subject and then promptly ask questions about that subject, you just painted a large BULLSEYE on your forehead.

[Don't mind xviper. He ran out of regular coffee this morning and had to resort to decaf, so he's less patient than he usually is. Also less focused -- with caffeine, he would have caught that gaffe on his first response.]
