    A landslip is when a piece of earth or rock breaks away and slides down a hill, cliff, or bank. Dictionaries mark it as smaller than a landslide: a landslide is the huge fall you see on the news; a landslip can be a slope that gives way after heavy rain. The word is mainly British. In American English people nearly always say landslide, or they name what moved: mudslide, rockslide. Though actually, even in Britain, news reports often say landslide for both, so the tidy “small versus big” line is tidier than real talk. One thing it never means: a very big win in an election. That use belongs to landslide, and landslip does not follow it.

    小規模山崩、邊坡滑落（比 landslide 小。台灣口語常統稱「山崩」「坍方」；「滑坡」較為大陸用語。不是土石流。）

    • This landslip appears to have been occasioned by the freezing of the springs in the chasms of the hill; the expansive force of the ice causing a separation at the base of the cliff beneath the hill, the ground began to move forward, and the lands of the farm, being pressed on by the descending mass, were torn from their original foundations.
    • And wasn’t it a sight to see, / When, ere his song was ended, / Like some great landslip, tree by tree, / The country-side descended;
