Well, yaoi is basically anime/manga porn, involving two guys. While slash, I think, is a broad term used to desbribe malexmale pairings, even on fandoms where due to the origin, the term yaoi wouldn't apply. Basically, an american malexmale comic would be slash, and a japanese one would be yaoi or shounen-ai. KInda like some people only use manga to refer to Japanese comics, and use comics for everything else.

If that made sense...

From what I know, yaoi is a japanese comic book story (aka manga) involving two gay guys.

"Slash" is a term designed to refer to two boys from any series (japanese or not) being written/drawn/shipped together, weather they're canonically gay or not.

so how does this distinction work in relation to the secret? I'm lost.

They tend to be used as general terms referring to non-canonical anime/manga-related m/m pairings with seme and uke (yaoi) and non-canonical m/m pairings in television, books, whatever else (slash).
