Slow Play = To have a very strong hand and to disguise it by allowing other players to bet it for you. This usually is refering to something like having AA pre-flop and only limping in or calling a small raise. Or flopping the nut straight, or a set when you had a low pair on the BB and just checking so that someone behind you can take a bluff at the hand.
Note: Slow playing is usually a risky move, as you are giving people a chance to beat your strong hands. Opinions vary on whether or not it is advisable depending on the exact situation you are talking about.
