Is "lazy" Patronizing?

Would a more PC term be "motivationally challenged" or "Person of Slack" ?

2. Yeah. It implies that the non-lazy motherfuckers are actually capable of something.

6. I am not lazy, but I am a seriously unambitious individual

and I am happy with what I have and do not lust for more. I work enough to pay my bills, do not work more than I have to, but when I do work I do an excellent job. I am motivationally challenged and lazy when I can be.

13. I can't help it if I'm lazy; I'm genetically up-&-at'emless

I probably punctuated that word wrong, but I'm too lazy to look it up and fix it.

Frankly, you're lucky I was even able to stick through posting this sentence.
