LOGY

Hey everyone

To answer Barbara's question:

Logy means lacking in energy; sluggish

e.g.

After taking a strong pain-killer, she felt logy.

or

"Initiated by the bite of a deer tick that has previously fed on an infected mouse, vole, or white-tailed deer, the victim first feels logy, headachy and strangely disconnected ..."

LAY OFF

Right to the point:

LAY OFF - to dismiss (an employee), esp. temporarily because of slack business.

e.g.
