also use it. It is not widely used anywhere else and most people would have no idea what you meant. They would probably assume you mean slouching... no Slouching in school since Sloughing in School is really weird and gross...

I dislike that as well. I correct my kids on that. I tell them to leave the poor hobo alone.

My favorite CBism: people who think anything they see in Utah is a Utah thing.

We used to say that as kids growing up in California in the 80s/90s
