Lazy vs. Efficient
Dictionary.com's first definition of "efficient:"
"Efficient
adjective
performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using requisite knowledge, skill, and industry; competent; capable."
It is interesting to note that with minor alterations, I can produce a definition for "lazy."
"Lazy
adjective
performing or functioning in a good-enough manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using a good-enough amount of knowledge, skill, and industry; competent enough; capable enough."

How do I know?
Utahns call TV shows "shows." They also call movies "shows."
When they are talking about some visual media of which I have never heard, I have no way to discern whether it is a movie or if it is a show.
I don't get it.
