How Do You Spell WAST SLOTHFUL?
Pronunciation: [wɒst slˈɒθfə͡l] (IPA) 
The phrase "wast slothful" is an old-fashioned way of saying "you were lazy". The spelling might seem strange to modern readers, but it reflects the way English was pronounced in the past. "Wast" is the second person singular past tense of "be", and is pronounced /wɑst/. "Slothful" means lazy or idle, and is pronounced /ˈslɑθfəl/. Together, the two words convey a stern admonition to avoid laziness and work diligently. While this phrasing may no longer be commonly used, it remains a reminder of the evolution of the English language over time.
