lazybones
This term is primarily used as a playful or mildly critical label for someone who avoids effort. While it can be used as a genuine criticism, it often carries a colloquial, almost affectionate tone when used among family members or close friends, similar to calling someone a "slug."
Grammatically, the word is an invariant noun. Despite ending in "s," it does not follow standard pluralization rules; the form remains "lazybones" whether referring to one person or multiple people. It is typically used as a predicate nominative or a direct address.
