Commplacent

Commplacent: adjective. Describing a type of person who is very lazy, but also very common, meaning he is sedentary and unlikely to move across a larger area. Interestingly the largest proportion of commplacent people is in this millennium in Mongolia, which is particularly interesting due to the nomadic nature of their ancestors. The word was first used by the explorer of the Arctic regions, who used it in association with a family of seals that he met while exploring, and who he met again 17 more times while going around in circles.
