American Oxford Thesaurus

feckless

feckless adjective the feckless bum hasn't gotten off our sofa for ten days: useless, worthless, incompetent, inept, good-for-nothing, ne'er-do-well; lazy, idle, slothful, indolent, irresponsible, shiftless; informal no-good, no-account. WORD NOTE feckless The obscene-sounding first syllable gives punch and an air of harsh condemnation to this synonym for irresponsible, conveying “not merely irresponsible, but also unforgivably blithe, and, in one's blitheness, causing great harm. ” — DA Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage. WORD NOTE feckless A totally great adjective. One reason that the slippage in the meaning of effete is OK (see note at effete ) is that we can use feckless to express what effete used to mean. Feckless primarily means "deficient in efficacy, lacking vigor or determination, feeble "; but it can also mean "careless, profligate, irresponsible. " The word appears most often now in connection with wastoid youths, bloated bureaucracies —anyone who's culpable for his own haplessness. The great thing about using feckless is that it lets you be extremely dismissive and mean without sounding mean; you just sound witty and classy. The word's also fun to use because of the soft- e assonance and the k sound —and the triply assonant noun form — fecklessness — is even more fun. — DFW Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
