Slip
In telecommunications, a Slip is defined as follows: In a sequence of transmitted symbols, e.g., digital bits, a signal phase shift, i.e., a signal positional displacement, that causes the loss of one or more symbols or the insertion of one or more extraneous symbols.Note: Slips are usually caused by inadequate synchronization of the two clocks controlling the transmission and reception of the signals that represent the symbols.

To put in execution what was planned,
And found the belle by Morpheus not insnared;
Fatigues the body more than plagues the mind:
Those rest not long who pilfer Cupid's store.
AGAIN, when to the room the hostess came,
Good heav'ns! cried she, it joins my husband's head:
To lay myself unthinkingly beside
