Cultural Note
In Spanish, the word for the animal sloth is also 'perezoso' — literally 'the lazy one.' Being called perezoso is a common mild criticism, especially from parents to children. In Spain, the more colloquial 'vago' is often used instead, and it's a softer, more casual way to call someone lazy.
