A term used by the "Entitled" Generation or those thinking they are Entitled.
A term for youth waiting to find that ambition, excitement to life, that "go getter mood", that job/ career that will bring eternal joy.
Translation : (boiled down, blunt) SIT ON COUCH, SMOKE POT, PLAY VIDEO GAMES, EAT JUNK FOO, WATCH MOVIES/ TV, HAVE SEX (all on the same couch) and wait paitiently for a job that will:
A) pay either 6 figures (or at least 5 bucks more than social security)
and
B) Requires Zero work what so ever.
And this usually ends with the person getting thrown out with the very same couch and worldly possessions on the street by parents.
