My understanding of "slotted flaps" is that they move aft as they deploy, creating the slot. Note that on aircraft that do have slotted flaps, the hinge pivot points are located below the bottom wing surface somewhere (usually via hinge extensions that stick down below the wing). Also, they usually have an airfoil shape (the leading edge is rounded, as in airfoil) in order to become lifting surfaces when down and aft.
