A person who is normally lazy but becomes active sometimes.

A: Hurrah! I've invented a new word!
B: Really? What's that?
A: Lazactive!
B: But there's already an available word.
A: It's different my friend.
B: How?
A: My word, lazactive is a combination of 'lazy' and 'active' that means a person who is normally lazy but becomes active in some particular works sometimes.

B: That's interesting! What about another 'lazactive'?
A: That 'lazactive' is a combination of 'laz' and 'active'. So, the meaning is totally different!
B: Yap, now I understand. A word may have same spellings but the meanings are different.
A: Yes my friend; as we see in the word 'bear' that has two meanings i.e. 'something which is hard to do' and 'huge, short-legged mammal'.
B: Congrats! You're a genius!

Lazaction

Noun

A combination of lazy and action.
The phenomenon when one's lazy action (often to save effort, time, or money) ironically results in creating more effort for a future action for themself, or another person.

Not realising that if one exerts more effort in a current situation, it would actually save more work in the future, meaning they would actually get to be more lazy. They prefer a lazy action now, even if it means more work later on.

Cleaning a spill with 100 napkins next to you rather than getting a mop from the next room because it's further away would be practicing lazaction. Too lazy to move further but would rather spend longer on the current action. If you got the mop now, you would have to move further but would actually save more time and resources in total.

He demonstrated lazaction when he manually whisked cream rather than getting the electric heater because it would mean that he would have to set it up, and plug it in.
