Vocabulary

slick; game

I was watching "High School Musical 2."
I have some confusion about the lines.

1)

"Don't strain yourself, slick"
What does "slick" mean here?

2)

- You don't think dancing takes some game.
- You got game?"
- A little.

What does "game" mean here?
  

Top answer

slick may be a generic nickname for someone who is slick (socially slick; one who deals smoothly with others). ) It seems that game is used to mean skill, talent, ability. I haven't seen the movie, so I may be wrong.
