I have heard definitions for both, but I'm still confused. Anyone
care to elaborate?
To me the easiest analogy is to think of a road that has a steep
banked turn covered with ice. If you go around it too fast you will
"skid" to the outside. If you go too slow you will slip down hill to
the inside.
In the case of the airplane too much rudder to the inside will make
you fell like you are being pushed to the outside and the plane will
be skidding to the outside.
Not enough rudder and the nose will drop in the turn. so you add
rudder to raise the nose and you feel like you are pressed against the
lower side of the plane which is now slipping down hill.
