manana
Procrastinator's favorite word
Mañana is Spanish for "tomorrow" or "morning," borrowed into English to suggest indefinite postponement or a relaxed attitude toward deadlines.
The mañana attitude puts off until tomorrow what could be done today.
Often used with mild humor or frustration: I asked when they'd fix it and got the usual mañana.
The word carries stereotypical associations with Latin cultures that some find offensive.
