EN: to deliberately act slow; to slow down intentionally
This is what you do when you're about to be asked to do another chore after finishing the first one. You suddenly move in slow motion, hoping the person who's about to give the order gets impatient and just does it themselves. It's weaponized slowness. Or that one person in the group project who takes forever to do their part.
ROOT MEANING: slow
This implies intentionality, as opposed to just 'bumagal' (to slow down).
