i have often been called a slacker.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A slacker is a person who habitually avoids work or lacks work ethic. According to different sources, the term \"slacker\" dates back to about 1790 or 1898. It gained some recognition during the British Gezira Scheme in the early to mid 20th century, when Sudanese labourers protested their relative powerlessness by working lethargically, a form of protest known as \"slacking\". In the United States during World War I, the word \"slacker\" was commonly used to describe someone who was not participating in the war effort, especially someone who avoided military service, an equivalent of the later term \"draft dodger\". Attempts to track down such evaders were called \"slacker raids\". During World War I, U.S. Senator Miles Poindexter discussed whether inquiries \"to separate the cowards and the slackers from those who had not violated the draft\" had been managed properly. A \"San Francisco Chronicle\" headline on 7 September 1918, read: \"Slacker is Doused in Barrel of Paint\". The term was also used during the World War II period in the United States. In 1940, \"Time\" quoted the U.S. Army on managing the military draft efficiently: \"War is not going to wait while every slacker resorts to endless appeals.\"\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well if you were wondering, I am a slacker just like my grandfather was in World War I."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Why was he a slacker in WWI?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "He fled to Canada to avoid the War.
