1. 1

    To shirk is to stay away, on purpose, from work or a duty you know you should do, often because you do not want the trouble. It is sharper than “being a bit lazy.” You shirk a job, a duty, or your share. Teachers and bosses use it when someone hides, passes the hard part to others, or pretends not to see. It is not a kind word, and it blames the will, not only the energy. The verb is what you will meet most.
