"Slacker"

I have a handful of very good friends who affectionately call me a slacker.  Or so I thought.  As it turns out, it might not be all that affectionately after all.  For some reason which only makes sense at 2:00 am, I decided to put my lawyering skills to work and find out exactly what it is that they mean by calling me a slacker.

A slacker is defined as a dodger.  A dodger is defined as a shifty person.  And shifty is defined as tricky, crafty, foxy, deceitful, untrustworthy.....  Hmmm.......  I'm thinking I don't like my friends.  Of course, it's always possible that I chose the wrong words to define.  Let's try this again.

A slacker is defined as a dodger.  A dodger is defined as a leaf hopper.  And a leaf hopper is defined as any of numerous, homopterous insects of the family Cicaclellidae that suck plant juices, many being serious crop pests.  Great, so now I'm a pesky little grasshopper.  I'm still not liking my friends.  Ok, let's try it ONE MORE TIME.

A slacker is defined as a dodger.  A dodger is defined as a shifty person.  Shifty is defined as foxy.  And foxy is defined as attractive, stylish, exciting and appealing.  Ok, I like my friends again.
