You can look up Slithy tove yourself , but the dictionary says :
When he wrote the first verse of Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll defined \'slithy\' in this way:
SLYTHY: (compounded of \'slimy\' and \'lithe\'). \"smooth and active\"
This definition is supported by what Humpty Dumpty tells Alice about the word:
`Well, \"slithy\" means \"lithe and slimy.\" \"Lithe\" is the same as \"active.\" You see it\'s like a portmanteau -- there are two meanings packed up into one word.\'
Carroll originally defined \'toves\' in this way:
TOVE: a species of Badger. They had smooth white hair, long hind legs, and short horns like a stag. lived chiefly on cheese.
This is slightly different from Humpty Dumpty\'s understanding of the word:`Well, \"toves\" are something like badgers -- they\'re something like lizards -- and they\'re something like corkscrews.\'
`They must be very curious looking creatures.\'
`They are that,\' said Humpty Dumpty: `also they make their nests under sun-dials -- also they live on cheese
GREAT buttons from the age of free love and hairy armpits. When the chrome was thick and the women were straight
