fainéant

While a roi faineant may fulfil effectively all the essential duties of sovereignty, an autocrate faineant is an absurdity.

Yours is the faineant spirit of the decadent, masquerading in the garb of a sham primitivism.

I take it as a kingdom, and I cannot be roi faineant, with a steward for maire du palais.

They were the Mayors of that Palace; he only le roi faineant.

I'd rather marry the roughest viking that ever sailed the seas than the most accomplished faineant.
