How it's used
The phrase literally describes someone being so lazy that they are sweating out laziness like juice. It is an idiomatic way to emphasize extreme laziness, often used to tease friends or family members who are being particularly unproductive. Unlike standard adjectives, this expression carries a strong sense of exasperation or playful criticism.
Examples
He is so lazy that he doesn't even want to eat.
