Pink slips definition

The term pink slip is thought to have originated in the US, and is an informal term to refer to a termination notice.

A pink slip is a notice of dismissal served to employees by employers. Although pink slips are still used, they were more common in the past, and the term referred to the colour of these notices of termination, thought to make them stand out from other correspondence sent to employees.
