LOL, Tami! No, in this case it's referring to lazy, shiftless people...

It's Jeff Kelety's column, one of my favorites. A short excerpt:

...my kids must look for all the world like a small band of young
waifs idly tossing stones into the ocean. They must seem the
quintessential artful dodgers, evading the truant officer by skillful
means acquired in the course of endless days of unchaperoned street
life. Loafers they must seem of the highest order; bums by any other
name.

Several of Jeff's older columns can be found at our website's archives.
