HI!

I badly need up-to-date synonyms for a lazy person and a messy, untidy one-please, please, please :)

A lazy person can be a slug or a couch potato
A messy person can be a slob or a pig

I think Barb D has some really good suggestions.

I just wanted to give you a few more synonyms for "lazy":

"idle, indolent, shiftless, slothful, sluggard, sluggish"

Hope this helps.
