i just saw the response. sometimes we lose track of our place. i think shiftless gets a bad rap. or maybe its just me. i think i had it warped by its proximity to shifty. websters says shiftless is lacking the will or ability to do or accomplish versus lazy which is disinclined to action or exertion; naturally or habitually slothful. so i guess shiftless could imply a lack of aptitude but in my mind it also had a devious quality.
