You know, my Grandpop Finnegan used to have an expression: he used to say, 'Joey, the guy in Olyphant's out of work, it's an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law's out of work, it's a recession. When you're out of work, it's a depression.

If you can slow the biological process of aging, even a minor slowdown in the rate at which we age yields improvements in virtually every condition of frailty and disability and mortality that we see at later ages.

American Scientist

Temporary State

When speaking about a slowdown in personal contexts, it can suggest disappointment or concern.

Emotional Tone

In business, a slowdown can be strategic to avoid overproduction or to recalibrate.

A productivity slowdown may indicate underlying issues like poor management or staff fatigue.

Indicator of Issues

In economics, slowdown refers to large-scale trends, not just individual companies or events.

Macro Perspective

An economic slowdown can precede a recession, but it doesn't always lead to one.

Precedes Downturn

Slowdowns can be specific to certain sectors like technology or manufacturing.

Sector Specific

 Drivers tend not to realize they need to break far in advance of a traffic jam, which means they end up having to brake harder to avoid a collision. This strengthens the wave of braking from vehicle to vehicle. What’s more, drivers tend to accelerate too rapidly out of a slowdown, meaning they try to drive faster

Why the @#$ is there so...

 that stole far more energy from his legs than the synthetic tracks of today. So I consulted biomechanics experts to find out how much slower it is to run on cinders than synthetic tracks, and their consensus that it's one and a half percent slower.
