No it's not a word. Laziest is an adjective and thus describes a noun so you could say 'John is the laziest boy in the class.' To ad the prefix 'un' is to attempt to create a word that is opposite to the one that has been used so if someone is 'happy' then the opposite is 'unhappy'. Lazy does not have such a meaning. According to my Chambers dictionary un is described as
Meaning 'not' (in many cases the resultant word is more than a mere negation and has positive force, as in 'unkind' which usually means 'cruel' rather than just 'not kind'. Indicating a reversal of process, removal or deprivation already expressed by the simple word, as in unbare or unloose sometimes added to a present participle with a passive meaning. The meaning is often ambiguous especially in participle adjectives.
There then follows19 pages of examples of words starting with un. Unlaziest is not amongst them.

It's just a way people say it, not a real word
It's like some people say unlazify, but it's not a word.

No,because there is no application that it can be used with.Try attaching it to something in the real world and it does not work.
It is a self-contradiction,an oxy-moron.To be unlaziest would mean to be the busiest.
It is worse than useless because if you use it,you will look like an idiot.

'Unlaziest' is not a word listed in dictionaries. Such a word is not necessary because there are more suitable alternatives, such most active and busiest.

Nope!! It is a concoction or better yet a combination of words.
It's also meaningless
