I think I'd rather be compared to the attractiveness-challenged small mammal called sloth, than to the alternate definition: sloth
slôTH, slōTH/
1. reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness.
"he should overcome his natural sloth and complacency"
synonyms: laziness, idleness, indolence, slothfulness, inactivity, inertia, sluggishness, shiftlessness, apathy, acedia, listlessness, lassitude, lethargy, languor, torpidity; literary hebetude
"who is responsible for the sloth of this department?"
