If quicksand sucks people down slowly why is it called that?

Because people are stupid and bad at naming. I mean really, apartments? They're places that are squished together. >_>

Maybe because since 你 struggle alot sometimes,it makes it go faster.If 你 dont 移动 at all,it would make it real slow.

或者 maybe the sand runs and beats all the other sand dunes in races.

I dont know,i guess it will always be a mystery....

OMG! never thought about it like that. um.. i'm not to sure,maybe its just a saying that has just stuck over time.

Think of it as something like this:
The 更多 你 run, the slower 你 get.

Because slowsand doesn't sound as catchy? :D
