Slomomotorist
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: slōmōmōtərist
Sentence: It never fails, whenever Jim is in a hurry he falls in behind a slomomotorist. He should have known better this time.

The only thing that was more annoying was the guy in the next lane who felt it was his job to match the speed of the one in front of him effectively blocking him in.
Etymology: slow-motion (action appears slower than in real life) + motorist (the driver of an automobile)
