Default Walk on slot

Hi there

I heard the expression "walk on slot" on tv the other day. I gathered it means something like have a hard time, but I´m not sure. Is that correct? Is it a common expression?

Thanks a lot.

Hello mnf.

I have heard of a "walk-in slot". In centres where such things as counselling or medical advice are given, it means a time when people can drop-in without making an appointment (perhaps during their lunch hour).

Is it possible that you misheard "walk-in" and thought it was "walk on"?



Regards,

Isn't a walk-on slot a bit or guest role in something?

I guess it is. I´ve been told that a walk-on slot is a small role. Thank you!
