- lazybutt70%
A mild, playful North American insult for a lazy person — someone who avoids work or effort with apparent contentment. It's a softened, family-friendly alternative to stronger insults, often used affectionately or teasingly between friends or within families. The compound follows a common slang pattern of attaching body-part terms to adjectives for light insults (cf. 'lazybones'). Connotation is almost always light and joking rather than genuinely mean-spirited; it's the sort of thing a parent says to a teenager still in bed at noon.
