the.com/lounging
the art of doing nothing with such commitment it looks like a lifestyle choice
means relaxing in a lazy, comfortable, sprawled-out way, with no urgent intention of moving anytime soon
from From the verb 'lounge,' which surfaced in English around the 16th century meaning to move or recline idly. Its deeper roots are murky — one tempting story links it to 'Lazarus,' the New Testament beggar, but that's likely folk fancy. A stronger possibility connects it to the French 's'allonger,' to stretch oneself out, which is exactly what a body does when it commits to the couch.
