Hee!

I don't think the slime is included in the metaphoric meaning, is it?

That gives a whole new meaning to "I feel sluggish"!!!

I'm guessing "sluggish" isn't used that often?

Actually it is "is" that is omitted. We sometimes leave out words when speaking informally.

A customer is feeling sluggish.

Or

We have a customer who is feeling sluggish.

You can use sluggish. It's not particularly uncommon.
