a wretched idle layabout

at school I wasn't a swot, but I wasn't a layabout either.

He is a lazy layabout who never does any work.

The layabout spent the whole day lounging on the sofa.

She accused him of being a layabout and not contributing to the household.

The layabout was fired from his job for consistently showing up late.

His parents were tired of supporting their layabout son.

The layabout finally decided to get a job and stop relying on others.

She refused to marry a layabout and wanted a hardworking partner.

The community center offers programs to help layabouts get back on their feet.

He was labeled a layabout by his coworkers for always slacking off.

The layabout's friends tried to motivate him to be more productive.

I don't suppose those things matter to a bunch of layabout wizards—”

I don’t like these layabouts you’re associating with.

That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of pampered layabouts.

But it's far from just the students who cycle in Cambridge. So do the school kids, the pensioners and the layabouts.
