You've never heard of a slow-poke? Similar usage, you can be pokey or you can be a slow-poke, both mean slow. The "small" definition is new to me. Seems like difference between British/American English.

Sure, but that doesn't mean "slow slow". The poke part of that that means something similar to "yoke".

A slowpoke is something that's slow and dragging you down with it.
