I know what a dropout is on a bike. To me a dropout is a dropout. Some have a threaded hole in it to mount a bike rack over the rear wheel of course but

what is a standard sliding dropout and a hooded sliding dropout? What do they look like, how do they differ from a regular or normal dropout and when and why are they used?
