"lazyboy" means: A plush stuffed swivel rocking recliner armchair.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (dated) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

- lazybutt65%
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.
