What's a slew? Are there words missing? I'm hella confused?

"a slew of" is a large amount of. He accidentally wrote "a" when he meant "of". [SLEW | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/slew)

I think it's "a slew of" similar to "a lot of"

Firstly — the person’s post should read: “…a slew *of*…” and not “…a slew a…” DEFINITION: Slew: nounINFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN noun: slew; plural noun: slews a large number or quantity of something. “he asked me a slew of questions” (Just google the word next time. I copied and pasted that from a basic search).

Slew is many, very many. No words appear to be missing. “Including Star Wars,” means, “including a poster for Star Wars.” it is clear in context. I don’t think the words [a poster for] are missing and I had to read it several times before I even thought to add them.

I'm pretty sure this use of "slew" is derived from _slough_ (meaning a deep channel or patch of wet ground, also related to _slog_), implying you could fill the channel with the items.

I would like to add that in many varieties of English, when spoken aloud, “of” gets pronounced as “a”. Although it’s not commonly written out that way, so this seems more like more likely a typo than an intentional choice to mimic spoken English.

A slew is best translated as "a lot of" or "bunch of" random objects, in this case movie posters. So he's saying he made a lot of movie posters for different movies in different styles.

I swiped

It should read "a slew of". A slew is a large amount. and is generally used to describe things that come all at once or are surprising when they turn up. A slew of work came down the chute. A slew of cars blocked the road.

A “slew” means a lot of something

"a slew of" has, I \_think\_, an unwritten connotation of a lot of something that happens in a sequence. He made a "slew of movie posters" but he made them one after the other. It would sound strange to my ear if someone said "I have a slew of apples". Also, in very informal speech "of" is sometimes pronounced to sound quite like "ah" or "a". Since the author also structured the sentence in an informal way, I think this might not be a typo but a translation of informal speech into text. A more formal version would be like "**I** ended up making a slew of major movie posters for them, including **for** Star Wars."
