Default side slip/forward slip

I still don't get it, about the definitions. Side slip is also known as the "down-wing method" while the forward slip is known as the "crab" method. On a crab you are "sideways" so shouldn't the crab be named as a side slip, because your longitudinal axis is parallel in the down-wing method, so name it as "forward slip."?
