Word to the Wise: Flaneur

A flaneur (flah-NUR) — from the French for “lounger/saunterer” — is an aimless idler.

Example (as used by The Atlantic in a review of The Idler’s Glossary by Joshua Glenn and Mark Kingwell): “This delightful chapbook proffers a puckish twofer: a whimsically learned defense of indolence and flaneurship … and an engagingly etymological lexicon of loafing, past and present.”
