Onishi: Lately, I've been feeling sluggish, and I get tired easily. という文がでてきましたね。By the way, what do you mean by sluggish?

David: Ah, sluggish is a great word. Slug is ah ... なめくじ?

Onishi: Oh, yeah. なめくじ.

David: and -ish just means ~ぽい, so it's like a slug, slow moving, not very fast.

David: It's like me in the morning.

Onishi: Ah huh, right, great explanation. Thank you guys. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。
