Creative

(noun)

a word used as a euphemism to describe an individual who is immature, irresponsible, completely disorganized and generally has no control over their life. creatives often lack natural intelligence and consistently fail to follow through on any promises.

“creative” is often used incorrectly as an excuse for not wanting to do work or missing deadlines at one’s job. it is often used by those who describe themselves as this very word.
correctly:

i don’t know why i bothered hiring these creatives. this logo they designed looks cool, but the deadline for it was three months ago.

incorrectly:

(rolls eyes). my boss is angry at me for not turning any of my -ssignments in the last three months. he just doesn’t understand creatives! ugh.
