Love Fest was started by dope smoking hippies in the nineteen sixties. They are a bunch of duty-shirking, no respect, free-willing bums that turned into yuppies who own most of Los Angeles. Love fest is a great place to catch STDs.
The word that means to avoid work by making up excuses is "procrastinate." Procrastination is the act of delaying or postponing tasks or responsibilities by providing justifications or rationalizations for not completing them. This behavior is often driven by a desire to avoid the discomfort or effort associated with the task at hand.
It's probably difficult to find some kind of statistical average, as there is no reported national consensus for average allowances for certain age groups. I myself never was paid allowance, but I bet it usually has to do with your parent(s)' income and the balance between alloting you some economic freedom without spoiling you and shirking your potential for self-responsibility in the future.
Andy decides not to turn in his poem in "Tears of a Tiger" because he feels overwhelming guilt and responsibility for the car accident that killed his friend Rob. He feels that his poem, which expresses his troubled emotions, would be a betrayal to Rob's memory and a way of shirking his responsibility for the tragedy. Andy's decision reflects his inner turmoil and deep sense of accountability.
Multi-shirking, multi shirking or multishirking, is a newish and contemporary word, invented during latter part of the 21st century. This word "must" have come out of then new, and phenomenal multi tasking power of Microsoft brand of windows 3.X computers, to be able to open few screens doing different tasks at the same time . Also must have stemmed from the well known ability of women to do many chores at the same time. "But" as opposed to multi tasking which is all in a good day of work, positive and efficient, it's a naughty act of being at work, and not doing what one is supposed to be concentrating on, but going off in a tangent, and doing other self satisfying chores. Example: opening an excel work sheet, and opening another screen from train spotting or wool knitting site.I heard it the first time, while at work, fixing the EPOS systems of a pub, some where in an absolutely picturesque part of west London. I was coming out of the pub, and down the stairs, to go to my car to bring some parts back inside, when I met a man, a bit thin and frail, coming up the 6 flights of stairs, severely out of breath, to go inside.As we met each other crossing on the stony stairs, the man, in an old manner of polite Londoners said "Good afternoon" and I replied back accordingly. I guess he must have recognised that I was an engineer fixing the tills, in my shirt and tie, as he said "No multi-shirking I hope!" My ears pricked up in response to the brand new word, and I exclaimed, "Multi-shirking?!"He then went on elaborating much(just the way that I am doing now!), explaining his unfortunate faith of being waiting on a list, for a heart swap, and then going on to explaining how he used to multi-shirk while at work before, when he was healthy and working as a computer programmer. "Always having another task screen hidden on the PC" he said. He went on "As soon as the boss went a way, I clicked back to my personal chore". The word stuck in my mind indelibly, as it will stick to your's now that I have explained it to you in 3D. That is if you have managed to stay awake till now.Also, graveyard security guards playing videogames and doing homework rather than focusing on the duty at hand. Professional multishirkers are a legion in night security and many while being paid seemingly low wages actually make money online answering surveys etc, writing research papers for college students, etc.
1. There are so many really cool games, you don't have to think... makes playing video games a lot more fun thinking about where to hide in hide and seek. 2. PARENTS DON'T TELL THEIR KIDS TO GO OUTSIDE!!! THEY DON'T CARE ANYMORE WHEN VIDEO GAMES MAKE THE KID FINALLY SHUT UP!!! my opinion, they are shirking off their parenting duties.
