lazy bones
Perpetually prone person
Lazy bones is a lighthearted or teasing term for someone who avoids work or physical activity.
It functions as a mild insult, typically used affectionately among friends or family rather than as genuine criticism.
Get up, lazy bones, we've got things to do.
The word treats the entire body as defined by its unwillingness to move, as if the very skeleton refuses exertion.
