| Jun 27, 2011 at 9:31 | comment | added | Pekka | @ladybug but Tom's question is whether "faul" has a "verschieben" meaning that is not connected to laziness, like when a very busy person postpones something to tomorrow. To which the answer is "no". Do you not agree? | |
| Jun 27, 2011 at 9:00 | comment | added | ladybug | I don't agree. "Prokrastination" only became a fashionable word in Germany over the last years. Before, there wouldn't be any difference made between "lazy" and "procrastinating". It both would have been expressed with "faul". | |
