Definition
懒骨头 is an informal, slightly playful noun meaning 'lazybones' — a person who is habitually lazy. It's often used as a mild tease or affectionate reproach, not a harsh insult. You might hear it in family settings or among close friends. The word literally combines 懒 (lazy) and 骨头 (bone), so the image is of someone whose bones themselves are lazy.
