英语把尾流看作可以进入的气流区域，固定用 in the slipstream of 表示“在……的尾流中”；on 表示在表面上，不能表示处于气流区域内。
wake 泛指移动物体身后留下的整条扰动尾迹，水面和空气中都能用，侧重“留下的痕迹”；slipstream 特指紧贴物体后方、由湍流造成的低压区，也引申为可借力前进的优势。说船过之后的水痕通常用 wake，说跟在车后借那股气流省力则用 slipstream。
draft 指一般的气流或穿堂风，作“借力位置”讲时是赛车、自行车赛等场合的说法（此义美式拼作 draft，英式把“气流”义拼作 draught）；slipstream 更专门，指空气动力学意义上物体后方的低压尾流，也可指这种借力优势本身。日常说屋里有冷风灌进来用 draft，不会用 slipstream。
backwash 强调被桨叶或螺旋桨向后推开、翻涌回流的介质，多用于水；slipstream 指螺旋桨向后推动的那股气流本身，也指物体后方的低压区。描写水面被搅动的场景一般用 backwash，描写飞机、赛车的空气动力尾流用 slipstream。
