: ESC... some good stuff. The ones about "slow" are closer to what I was looking for. Not so much "lazy". I'm thinking about situations (projects, for instance) that are stuck. Think about undertakings dependent on committees, rather than on individuals. Ya know? SLUGGISH!

: Keep 'em coming, people. These are great, so far.

: : SLOW As sucking buttermilk through a straw. Slow as smoke off a fresh cow patty in January. (Actually, I've heard this more directly: Slow as smoke off s*#t.) Slow as wet gunpowder. Slow as a hound dog in August.

: : And then there's LAZY. He'll starve to death because he won't work and he's too lazy to steal. He has to prop himself up to spit.
