A mild, family-friendly insult for someone who avoids effort or physical activity. Common in North American usage, particularly in contexts involving children or as a softened alternative to harsher terms.

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.
Come on, lazybutt — you've been on the couch for three hours and the lawn still isn't mowed.
