snailed it

to ''snail it'' is to have a golden opportunity available to you in which a female is ready for you to 'take her', but you take way too long to pull the trigger and another male takes over the situation, and nails the girl before you.
Basically the opposite of ''nailing it''.

too slow to get done what needed to get done.

if you want it, you gotta jump on it before someone else does.

yo just letting you know, Jenna was all over your dick. Like she was ready for someone to do it up. But you didnt jump on the opportunity, so i went in for the kill on her.
ya snailed it, bruh.
