The etymology of lazy is not clear, although it is believed that the term could come from the Hispanic Arabic kaslán . The concept refers to a lazy and lazy individual , who rejects work and obligations.
For example: «You are lazy! Find a job soon or I will kick you out of my house" , "My boss is a lazy person who only comes to the office for about two hours a day" , "Don't be lazy and help me set the table, the visitors are about to arrive" .
The adjective lazy is usually applied to someone who does not care about having a job . The lazy person only works occasionally, without making an effort: he prefers to spend his time dedicating himself to leisure and resting. In the face of job instability, it is common for people to live off the money given to them by their parents or relatives, or even to go into debt to survive without working.
Beyond what is linked to a paid activity, the lazy person does not make any effort at a domestic level either. His laziness leads him to not collaborate with the housework and to try to evade any responsibility.
Among the many synonyms that the word lazy has, we can highlight some such as lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, remiss, indifferent, lazy or lazy , for example. On the contrary, its antonyms include words such as worker, hard-working, applied or active.
In fiction it is possible to find many lazy characters. An archetype of slacker is Homer Simpson (or Homer Simpson ), one of the protagonists of the animated series The Simpsons . Homer often falls asleep during work hours and, whenever possible, escapes from his job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He also does not collaborate with his wife Marge when it comes to doing household chores or taking care of their three children ( Bart , Lisa and Maggie ).
Curiously, we find publications that revolve around laziness. A good example of this is the book «Manual del hogazán. Tactics and strategies to get everything from your work (without giving anything in return) The author Diego Trillo Trubba is responsible for this work.
In the same way, we cannot forget the book "Classics of humor: the gentlemen of Alcorcón and the lazy man of Pepón" written by Roberto Segura or the work "Diary of a lazy man" whose author is Frutos Aparicio.
Likewise, we have to establish that one of the classic stories that has been passed down from generation to generation also talks about laziness. We are referring to "The Grasshopper and the Ant", which was originally written by Aesop and which both Jean de La Fontaine and Félix María Samaniego would later recreate.
It tells the story of a cicada who spends the entire summer lazing around while the ant is in charge of gathering food for when winter comes. Precisely when the coldest season arrives, it has no means to survive because it has been lazy and has not been saving food, the complete opposite of what happens to the ant.
