Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help

tortuga, noun
tortoise; turtle

If it lives on the land it's a tortoise, if it lives in the sea it's a turtle. It would appear that Spanish tortoises are no faster than others. There's an expression in Spanish, a paso de tortuga, which means at a snail's pace. Word for word, it's at a tortoise's pace.
