slants

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lists' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'both small and large insects' is the wordplay.
'both small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size. I am not sure about the 'both' bit.).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'insects' becomes 'ants' (ant is a kind of insect).
's'+'l'+'ants'='SLANTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slants that I've seen before include "Slopes, leans" , "Angles" , "chances" .)
