verb [a·truh·fee]
2. to lose muscle mass as a result of prolonged inactivity brought on by injury, disease, or you finding a bullshit, yet creative, excuse to cease working out (e.g. having an epiphany that there’s more to life than having a banging body and that lifting to get one eats up too much of your limited time on earth that could be spent on more spiritually fulfilling pursuits). see also: COMEDIC
