More vs -er I think has to do with the number of syllables. One or two is -er, 3+ is more. "More beautiful" but "prettier" and "cooler". Though there are exceptions to the -er (at least with 1 syllable words), like "more fun", not "funner" (because funner would be too much like funnier?). But if it's 3 or more, it has to be "more ___" and if it's 1 or 2 it's usually -er.
Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, it couldn't slashi because the ending you want is either -ful or -y, but yeah.
I might say slash-ish, but it wouldn't be as strong. More iffy, less certian. At least for me, -ish implies that it's sort of something, but not really. Like "red" vs "red-ish". Like "well, I guess that was vaguely slash-ish -_-; *was hoping for more*".
