Well, it would be "slowth"...

Which makes me think: i am surprised that is not an excessively used term in the startup / brotrepreneur world...



"slowth" is how David Attenborough pronounces it, and if anyone could be considered an authoritative English language expert on the common (non-latin) names of mammals, he would be it...


Apparently it was historically spelled in a way that makes the slow + -th connection more apparent!
