Describing someone or something very slow.
خلفية ثقافية
In Vietnam, the turtle is a symbol of longevity and wisdom, but also of slowness. It is a common household idiom. In many East Asian cultures, the turtle is respected, so using this idiom is usually lighthearted teasing rather than a deep insult. In Western cultures, the turtle is often associated with the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, emphasizing that slow and steady wins the race. The turtle is a common metaphor for slowness in Arabic-speaking regions, similar to Vietnamese usage.
