Text In this podcast, the word "slow" describes someone who is developing more slowly than others and performing at a lower level than others of the same age, especially learning new concepts more slowly than expected: "Eric is a little slow, so you might have to explain the contract to him a few times." The phrase "slow on the uptake" means not very quick in understanding something new: "In her first days on the job, Jenna was a little slow on the uptake, but now she's one of our most knowledgeable customer service representatives." Finally, the phrase "slow motion" describes a video recording that plays something more slowly than it actually happened: "At first, it looked like the player made a goal, but when we watched it again in slow motion, we could see what had really happened."
