slacktivity

the activity you do, or participate in to put off doing something that is not as fun, but more important.

My favorite slacktivity to do instead of writing my 5 page paper that is due tomorrow is to look up random words on Urbandictionary.com.

Slacktivity

slack-tiv-i-ty

(noun)

Completed work, albeit completed poorly due to nonchalance, intentional lack of attention to detail, or by person just not giving a sh!t.

Occasionally, slacktivity can lead to being relieved of a duty that said person might not want to be doing anyway, when used strategically.

Coworker A: Look at all these glasses in the cabinet! They aren't in the proper lines, so they don't all fit. Plus, some of them are facing up, and not facing down as everyone should always have them placed.

Coworker B: Yep. It's Jeff's week on kitchen duty. He is a master of slacktivity.

Coworker A: FORGET IT. I'll just do the kitchen stuff on his weeks.
