Created by: artr

Pronunciation: slôθmouθ

Sentence: Whenever Tim has trouble sleeping, he goes to his TV and turns on the local government access channel. He has his own name for the reporter who covers the city council. He calls him Yawn Sleeperson. Five minutes with this slothmouth is sure to bring on slumber. If he is lucky he can stumble to bed just before he nods off, otherwise it’s another morning waking up in rumpled clothing with a kink in his neck.

Etymology: sloth (a slow-moving tropical American mammal that hangs upside down from the branches of trees using its long limbs and hooked claws) + mouth (the opening in the lower part of the human face, surrounded by the lips, through which food is taken in and from which speech and other sounds are emitted)
