My parents used to call me a "slacker" when I was younger, but I don't really know what that word means!
A slacker is a person who always avoids doing their work or lacks the attitude to do it. 
That doesn't sound like me at! Slacker is a strange word, I wonder where it came from?
Back during WW1, a slacker described someone not participating in the continuous war effort, or avoided the military service altogether
Wow, I had no idea the term was that old. So people have been calling each other slackers for over 100 years!
Those who did avoid the war efforts were hunted down, and the term, 'slacker raids' were promoted.
That sounds intense! I seem to recall seeing a movie called Slacker from the 80s or 90s. Every part of the movie was shot with a different type of film.
That is interesting how the term is carried over During Both World Wars and continues to be revitalized in movies such as Slacker !
Yes, there must be something appealing about the way the word sounds! I'm going to start calling my son slacker to see if it bothers him.
Funny ! The San Francisco Chronicle headline read "Slacker is Doused in Barrel of Paint" this was in 1918. Would you ever paint your kid ? Ha
Ha! I feel like it sometimes... usually when he's being a slacker.
