Being one of these 'slackers' I'd like to seize this opportunity to say Hullo everybody! 
Personally I would prefer the word flâneur, though:
Aren't we all rather sophisticated wanderers?

Personally I would prefer the word flâneur, though:
Quote:The term flâneur (English pronunciation: /flä-ˈnər/) comes from the French masculine noun flâneur—which has the basic meanings of "stroller", "lounger", "saunterer", "loafer"—which itself comes from the French verb flâner, which means "to stroll". Charles Baudelaire developed a derived meaning of flâneur—that of "a person who walks the city in order to experience it".
[...]
Flâneur is not limited to someone committing the physical act of peripatetic stroll in the Baudelairian sense, but can also include a "complete philosophical way of living and thinking"...
