OP Me and a friend of mine were arguing over the exact meaning of the word "lackadaisical." I think it means more of a "dull, lack of spirit", and he believes its more "idle/lazy". I believe that lackadaisical can describe someone who is industrious, and yet dull or boring. So my question is this: Can someone lackadaisical be industrious?
Thanks for the help
