This is why the bungie universe forum is the best, a four word OP gets this response.

On the fourth dimension idea, traveling through the dimension probably works kind of like this:
Imagine that you live in a 2 dimensional universe that exists on a piece of paper rolled into a cone. If you want to travel to something on the other side of the cone you must travel all of the way around. Jumping into the third dimension to go straight across the cone would make the trip much faster. Slipspace probably works similarly to this. It is not slippery.
OT there are several FTL theories, but none involve 'slipping', instead 'slip' is probably slang entering/exiting the special space, ex. "covenant ship slipping in".
