  2. (figuratively) lazy person

Usage notes
  • Many sources make a distinction between papra (“duck”) and borka (“wild duck”). However it is unclear whether the latter gloss refers to the mallard or to other wild-living birds of the family Anatidae. At any rate the mallard is also commonly called papra.
