A suberi is a slide, usually under the opponent's position. Black 1 in the diagram is an example of suberi (in a joseki that is known as catenaccio).
--Stefan
On the other hand, this kind of slide by Black is often criticised. It is an example of a sente play that may often be better left unplayed. The presence of the marked stone means that Black's group is weak. The exchange of Black 1 and White 2 makes it heavier. No longer can Black invade at White 2 to dodge the attack. One half of a well known pair go team has forbidden his partner, who is a dan player, ever to play this slide!
In professional games it is often the case that after a longer slide the shape becomes fixed quite soon.
