Word: Forsloth

Definition:
When you’re not lazy because you want to relax — you’re lazy because you let something slide for so long that starting feels impossible. Neglect → Overwhelm → Inertia.

Origin: Coined in 2025 by Peter Michael Mocco Jr. (with the assistance of GPT-5). From for- (as in forlorn — ruined by neglect) + sloth.
Examples:
• “My sink isn’t dirty from laziness. It’s forsloth. I blinked and it became sentient.”
• “I didn’t stop answering emails on purpose — I’m deep in forsloth.”
• “That’s not procrastination. That’s full-scale forsloth paralysis.”
