schlumpadinka 

lazy people with self esteem/value/respect issues, who have given up on themselves, fashion and style that live in oversized t-shirts, sweatpants, black leggings, or think pajama pants are appropriate "going out" attire. Most recently brought to our attention on Oprah, the schlumpadinka is, in most urban centers, an epidemic.
For example: The woman in front of you at the gas station/coffee shop/ family restaurant line wearing an outdated windbreaker, some grungy, saggy sweatpants, usually with an outdated hairstyle that is unkempt. Looks like she was probably doing some housecleaing, or perhaps painting her living room. Alas, this is her everyday attire. You speculate, that perhaps she is homeless, or at least low-income. Unfortunately, she's just lazy and doesn't care about her appearance.

"whoa, check out the schlumpadinka! How can you really NOT care THAT much?"

The phenomenon that occurs when one person tries to pass by you in a hallway or some other narrow passage and you both switch sides to get out of each other's way, therefore defeating the point of changing sides, causing you to switch sides again, however, the other person also got the same idea and tried to switch sides again, causing you to both be caught in the same predicament once again.

A clueless, clumsy human tornado who somehow manages to trip over nothing, lose their wallet three times in one day, and accidentally microwave their phone — but still gets invited to the party because, deep down, everyone loves a good schluberdinkle.

Equal parts disaster and charm. Mildly insulting. Weirdly affectionate. Definitely unforgettable.

You forgot your keys, tripped over the cat, and microwaved the fork? You absolute schluberdinkle.”*
