From the Latin slackerus, the ancient root of the modern term slacker. Levi Slacker, as you know, was a person so pompous he refused to wear jeans with fashionable tears in the back pockets.

The phrase Executive comes from the ancient Phoenician sailors who would chant the word as they rowed. Thus the ancient phase "he who knows everything" was born. It was the Bard himself, Bard Simpson to be exact, who blended that phrase with the vogue expression "does nothing" that one hears in the coffee houses of Europe.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Hence when I couple the phrases together it will instantly be obvious, Grasshopper, that the the meaning of Executive Manager is "He who knows all but does nothing."
