Created by: karenanne

Pronunciation: dee CELL er ate

Sentence: Meetings with my boss are a giant pain in the neck and take way too long, because he always manages to decellerate the meeting at least once by answering his cell phone while we are meeting. And everyone is trapped just sitting there because he does the "wait a minute sign" with his index finger throughout the call. Sometimes he even decellerates things further by placing a call and then holding a three-way phone conversation about other business!

Etymology: cell + decelerate
