Lackadaisical is a good one! How about 'antediluvian'? I don't like the word 'thoroughly' because I always need help spelling it. (I'll share my area code with you, no worries)

For the sake of interest:

Why are those single words? Obviously using Google Translate: neither translate from German to English and then back to German as single words? Or is that where the fun part comes in i.e. the single words actually mean something totally different?

German multicomposita are a bit tricky. The composita means something entirely different than the words used in the composita.

Let's take Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft for exmple. The word describes a company of lower clerks in charge of building on the main electrical depot for steamboats that go over the donau.
The words are "donau steam ship drive electricity main operation work under clerk company"

Good example in that one is Betriebswerk. Betrieb means operation and Werk means work, so "operation work" becomes depot.
Sometimes the composita will entirely change what the single words in them are about.

Thanks. Very interesting.
 
The shortest complete sentence in the English language is

"Go."

Just FYI
English weirds me out a bit. It's such a patchwerk language
You have no real grammar, so it's kind of unfair towards other languages :D

I guess the shortest sentence in Bavarian is "I a", which means "me too"
Most short words in a sentence in Bavarian is something like "O I a e a na"("Yeah, me (untranslatable) neither, anyways") or something in that area

English isn't even a language anymore. An amalgamized plagiarism of every language and culture

My description may be a bit dramatic
