Default RE: cross wind landings?

Hey Guys.....What's a side slip or a crab and what's a "cross control ILS" and rudder kick sounds just like what you would do but this is so interesting but this Greenie is lookin into bright lights at this time. I did understand coming in nose down for cross control but that sounds scary to me right now......any mention of nose down puts red flags up for me right now in this learning curve.

Oh yeah! Almost forgot...I went flying the other morning and tried those rudder turns with a little aileron appied to counter act the wing tip drop. I did this about 2-3 mistakes high so felt I could control it if something bad happened, nothing did but I didn't feel like I had total control of this technique yet and landed straight and level. There was no cross wind for these last 5 flights. Thanks for the help!
