Infact verdict: True (86/100).

The claim that 'Born a bit tired' was used in the late 19th century to describe someone habitually lazy is supported by multiple sources. These sources describe it as a Victorian term used sarcastically to refer to a chronically lazy person. The evidence includes a medium-reliability source from UberFacts and a high-reliability source from a Facebook post, both confirming the historical usage of the expression. Additionally, the Green's Dictionary of Slang corroborates this usage. Therefore, the claim is well-supported by historical references.
