I have not heard that slope is an offensive word before.

I watched the show and did not think it was done as an insult.

however more you watch, the more you wonder if they were trying to be cheeky, or was it said in an innocent way.

I've heard a few of the old Vietnam vets use it before talking about Vietnamese people, kind of like using that instead of gook, etc.

I do not think its used in the uk.

that said I wonder if they [those on top gear] knew about it and said it to see if they could get away with it, knowing that no one in the uk would have known about the word.

i did wonder at the time why they said it.

it seemed odd thing to say.

The great problem is that they were putting gags in the show all through the show.
