LACKADAISICAL ????

Ive always been fascinated by this word " LACKADAISICAL" ! It 

just sounds so good when you say it ! kind of musical and ive 

also always wandered why it should mean " Lack of interest/ 

enthusiasm" ?? 

So, last weekend i put it up on my FB status and asked 

my friends what they thought it should mean instead of "lack of 

interest". And here are the answers i got ...Just sharing it here for fun...:)

( sorry about the alignment....something wrong with the setting coz i cut and paste from my FB page :) )
