Carl La Fong, way back in 1922 complained about the slow service at his DMV. He raised his eyes to the heavens–There was ceiling in the way, but we’ll let that go–and yelled, “This place as slow as road repair.”
But we don’t have a word to describe mind-numbing slowness.
It’s high time to correct this oversight. It derives from the initials of slow “as road repair,” or “sarr.”
