Slippy is said the world over. I don’t know why people think it’s unique here. I’ve heard it in most English speaking countries. It’s commonly used in various sports.

In central PA, use of slippy versus slippery is very colloquial. To the point those who spend a lot of time at University Park sometimes adopt it, and it can be an identifier outside the area.
