slouches
Sits without posture
Slouches names people who lack energy, effort, or skill, most often appearing after a negative: She's no slouch at tennis.
To call someone no slouch is to praise their competence.
The verb slouch means to sit, stand, or walk with drooping posture—shoulders rounded, spine curved: Don't slouch at the dinner table.
A slouch is also a drooping posture or a soft, shapeless hat.
