Slackoisie Edit Meaning

1.

Prounounced "Slack-wah-zee". This is a term coined by Scott H. Greenfield, Esq., author of the "simplejustice" blog, which refers to a class of young attorneys (usually millenials) who believe that having a job is an entitlement, rather than a privilege.

This term could be used to describe any graduate from an institution of higher learning who is more interested in having a place to go in the morning and some spending money, rather than committing themselves to a profession or career.
