What is a better way to say this?
I'm doing a paper on laziness and I'm trying to make the point that when someone calls another person lazy, they are unknowingly describing themselves because they are too "lazy" to find out what the real problem is.
This is what I've got, and I don't like it but I have no idea how else to say it:
Lazy is a four letter word that says more about the accuser then the accused.
The "four letter word" part is important because earlier in the essay I compare the word lazy to other insults.

I think the sentence is pretty good as it stands, although I'd be tempted to insert an 'often' before 'says'. Some people ARE lazy for no good reason. I'd also refer to lazy as a four-letter word.
Lazy is a four letter word that says more about the accuser then the accused.
