Does WordPress limit the length of slug names for Post Meta or Terms?

The meta_key field for the wp_postmeta table is set as varchar type entries with a length of 255 characters. Seems pretty lengthy. It’s meta_value partner parameter is set as longtext type.

As for the term length, both name and slug are set as varchar with a length of 200 characters each in the wp_terms table.
