-Losing your weapon due to slippery fingers can range from a mild annoyance, to a major inconvenience in the case of shops and artifact weapons, to potentially fatal should it occur in the middle of combat. Be mindful of where you eat tins, and make sure to uncurse cans of grease and towels before using them - a non-cursed towel is worth keeping around for this purpose.

-'''Slippery fingers''' are a result of eating deep fried or french fried food from a [[tin]], trying to use a cursed [[can of grease]], or trying to apply or #dip a cursed [[potion of oil]]. They last d15 [[turn]]s.
+'''Glib''' is a property in ''[[NetHack]]'' that occurs as a result of using certain items, leaving you with '''slippery fingers'''.
-When your fingers are slippery, you drop any non-cursed [[weapon]] you were wielding (which can be problematic in a [[shop]]). If you are not wielding a weapon, or you are wielding a cursed weapon, your non-cursed rings may slip from your fingers.{{refsrc|src/do_wear.c|2166|version=NetHack 3.6.7}} Applying a [[towel]] effectively cleans your fingers. Putting gloves on does not remove or cover this effect, due to forces of physics yet unfathomed.  The lesson here is to watch exactly what it is you are eating/applying, as slippery fingers can very easily lead to a swift death if said tin or grease was used out of pure necessity.
