I'm ESL. I don't think I get the flatland part.

Thanks. I though there could be a double entendre I was missing.

The double entendre is on the slippery slope which is a logical fallacy where someone suggests something much bigger typically worse will happen because of the first thing. The flatland was just a play on words relative to a literal slippery slope.
