slouch
Lazy, drooping stance
Slouch is a drooping, relaxed posture—shoulders rounded, spine curved, head forward.
To slouch is to stand, sit, or walk this way: Don't slouch at the dinner table.
The word carries connotations of laziness or poor discipline.
A slouch can also mean someone lacking skill or competence, but almost always in the negative: She's no slouch at chess.
