Hi,
I have been looking for a sland word (a noun, preferably common both in AmEng and BrEng) for someone who is habitually late.
1) "flake" ? (saw this one in a posting in the internet, not in a (well-established) dictionary...)
2) laggard ( dated?)
3) perhaps the word I need can be somehow related to / formed from the adjective "tardy"??
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
I don't know of any word with that meaning. A flake is someone with an addled brain. A laggard is someone who is behind the pack.
