A pink slip must be given to an employee who is terminated while under contract and is part of a collective bargain agreement or a union. Although not legally required in most circumstances, many employers decide to issue a pink slip to formalize the employeeâs termination.
A pedestrian crossing (British English) or crosswalk (American English) is a place designated for pedestrians to cross a road. Crosswalks are designed to keep pedestrians together where they can be seen by motorists, and where they can cross most safely across the flow of vehicular traffic.
Most of us know pedestrian as a noun meaning someone who travels on foot. But the adjective sense of pedestrian as defined here is actually its original meaning. To be pedestrian was to be drab or dull, as if plodding along on foot rather than speeding on horseback or by coach.
