Lounging

According to Merriam-webster.com the word “lounging” means to act lazily. The word lounging is a verb and can be found in paragraph paragraph 7 of “The Turbid Ebb and Flow of Misertly” by Margaret Sanger. It states, ” The men were sullen and unskilled, picking up odd jobs now and then, but more often unemployed, lounging in and out of the house at all hours of the day and night”. This proof how poor and unstable the community was,they were desperate to find any jobs that were available. Those who were often unemployed were idle most of the time.
