snailed
Crept along slowly
Snailed means moved at a snail's pace—very slowly: Traffic snailed along the highway.
The word appears most often with directional words: snailed through, snailed along, snailed past.
Less commonly, snailed describes something that has been shaped like a snail or its shell, typically in a spiral or coiled form.
