What do we mean by the statement "Rolling with slipping"? I couldn't imagine this situation as a real life scenario.. I mean to say that if the body (say a solid sphere) is slipping , then how can it rotate at the same time ? If it will be rotating it won't be slipping . How can the two happen together?

It is when there is relative movement between a rotating object and the ground at the point of contact so the condition
translational velocity $=$ radius of object $\times$ angular speed of object
is not satisfied.
Push down too hard on the accelerator pedal and the drive wheels of your car will spin with the car and produce a lot of smoke due to the tyres getting very hot because there is relative movement between the tyres and the road - slipping.
