Lazy with a laziness that's not just skin-deep? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
bone idle
'lazy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a laziness that's not just skin-deep?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'one' and 'one' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bone idle that I've seen before include "Very lazy, may be ossified?" , "Very, lazy, almost ossified" , "Extremely lazy" , "Very lazy from the inside out" , "Really lazy in ossified way" .)
