Summary:
Slim groupoids are groupoids satisfying $x(yz)\=xz$. We find all simple slim groupoids and all minimal varieties of slim groupoids. Every slim groupoid can be embedded into a subdirectly irreducible slim groupoid. The variety of slim groupoids has the finite embeddability property, so that the word problem is solvable. We introduce the notion of a strongly nonfinitely based slim groupoid (such groupoids are inherently nonfinitely based) and find all strongly nonfinitely based slim groupoids with at most four elements; up to isomorphism, there are just two such groupoids.
