Word of the Day: Slapdash
When we describe something as slapdash, we mean it has been done carelessly and without a plan.
The owner of this desk in the picture above has some pretty slapdash organizational skills.
Yes, it may be controlled chaos to them, but even the round file is overflowing. It only looks sloppy and messy for everyone else.
People can be like this in other ways. I’m sure that you have all known a student like this. You know the kind of person I mean, someone who doesn’t put a lot of effort into what they do or doesn’t take a lot of pride in their work.
A slapdash student is someone who did their summer homework in the morning, on the train on the first day back to school after summer vacation. Just remember that slapdash looks sloppy and unprofessional.
It’s a terrible habit to get into because when you grow up to be a professional, you never want someone to describe your work as slapdash.
