Old military slang for a soldier who is excessively fond of sleeping — someone who, given any opportunity, retreats to their bunk and refuses to stir. The 'lizard' element evokes a cold-blooded creature that basks motionlessly, doing as little as possible. The term likely originated in British Army usage and implies that the subject prioritizes sleep over duties, drills, or socializing. It's the military equivalent of a couch potato: someone who treats their sleeping quarters as a personal refuge from all obligation.
(derogatory) A poor and uneducated person.
A soldier who relishes his bed.
(vulgar) An insulting and humiliating action against somebody.
