flâneurs are not slackers

Who knows why one's brain goes where it goes? I was reading about Claire Chase's season at Carnegie Hall and decided to check her LC authority record.  Flâneurs came to mind. Probably from Flute players to Flautists which files close to Flaneurs. I segued to wondering if Flâneuses were in the LCSH authority file. No Flâneuses in LCSH. I was horrified, however, to find a see-also reference between Flaneurs and Slackers. At least, all the possibly pejorative references are on Slackers.
