Lazy; Mean; Unfriendly; not motivated.
Outback Bazza
When you are in general being mean towards someone or bullying them. Actively wanting to cause them discomfort, harm or belittling them. Always used as the verb (being slack), as in other contexts it doesn’t have the same meaning, i.e. “he’s slacking” means that he is being lazy.
Example: 1. Hey don't do that, he's a good bloke, stop being slack to him. 2. That's really slack what they did to Jessie, she was just trying to join in.
