To smart to work, he thinks. Or she thinks.
An underachiever or irritatingly laid-back character.
Possibly disorganised, possibly prone to procrastination.
There can be a bit more to it than mere laziness or sloppiness, a perception that the rat race isn't worth it and shop-till-you-drop a surrogate happiness of low quality, and a slow poison, too. So this kind of slacker might (or might not) be dedicated to what he or she does (paragliding, for example), but would probably not list “climbing the corporate ladder” as an ambition or “shopping” as a hobby. May be a bit of a “Generation X” thing.
Hear Beck's song “Loser” or see the video for Soundgarden's “Black Hole Sun”.

B: “You know, while you got cash I had a look at the profiles you had your class fill out. Would you believe more than two third of the girls and several of the boys listed “shopping” as a hobby?
I mean, most of the girls I went to school with were crazy about buying all kinds of stuff and they would disappear in shoe shops for days, but list “shopping” as a hobby? No one would have thought of it as a damn “hobby”! And even if someone had, they still wouldn't have dared to admit they're so damn shallow. What has the world come to?
G: “Yeah, I know. Nothing to be done about that. The shits are doomed and so are we. You should see their parents. Now get off your butt and out of the car, you little slacker, we still need to get groceries.”

Get the slackerati mug.A subculture that is comprised of slackers. However, all slackers are not slackercore. Slackercore listens to a wide variety of music, from Turbonegro to KMFDM to Kill Hannah.
There is no set "fashion" to the slackercore subculture. The slackercore slacker wears whatever is comfortable and/or good looking.
Borrowing from the geek subculture, the slackercore beverage of choice is one of high-caffeine content. The most popular is Mountain Dew, due to its low price. However, the most desired beverage is Bawls.
Also borrowing from the geeks, the slackercore can often be seen at LAN parties, with high-performance, yet budget machines due to their lack of money. Hacking is a must. Even something as simple as uploading ringtones to a cell phone via external means qualifies as a hack, which the slackercore will share amongst eachother.
A common problem for the slackercore is the lack of female presence. Many times it is hard to find a chix0r who is not only 1337 but also attractive. To find such a chix0r is a very special thing.

Scott: Wow, this is such a slackercore class. Doesn't it kick ass to be slackercore?
Greg: Hells yeah it does.
Jon: I love being slackercore.
Scott: Jon, you're just a slacker.

Get the slackercore mug.One addicted to being a slacker. One who is in denial about their lazy tendencies, who prefers to go to great lengths to avoid taking responsibility if it involves doing any work.
He is addicted to drink; he is a drunkard. I am addicted to laziness, to delegating anything I do not want to do; therefore I am a slackard.

Get the slackard mug.A slackstake describes what happens when you go to write something on Slack, typically making use of an extension, app, or integration particular to that technology (like inserting a relevant Giphy) that doesn't turn out exactly as planned or intended.
Examples include wanting to send a Giphy that illustrates your point but then sending a Giphy that doesn't really make sense or increases confusion. Similarly, going to type the correct keyboard shorthand to generate a desired emoji, but not typing it correctly and hitting send too quickly so that it doesn't generate the emoji but just sends the jumble of symbols.
Slackstakes typically occur as a result of typos and being too quick with the keyboard, but the term can also extend to doing things like DMing the wrong person, including someone in a group DM or channel that shouldn't be there, or really just committing any mistake in Slack that is iconic of and/or ironic for the medium of communication.
The word is a sandwich of "Slack" and "Mistake".

"Oh Becky pulled the funniest slackstake yesterday when she sent Brian a Giphy of a Beluga Whale when she was telling him how much she loves Orcas and how she knows everything about them. Didn't even know she sent the wrong whale until we pointed it out!"
"Oh yeah, John got fired because he sent Maria a promiscuous set of emojis via Slack. Granted, it was not during business hours, but that's still a huge slackstake, if you know what I mean."
