The other day I fell in love with the word lollygagging. According to Webster's Dictionary:
lollygag |ˈlälēˌgag| (also lallygag)
verb ( -gagged, -gagging) [ intrans. ] informal
spend time aimlessly; idle : >he sends her to Arizona every January to lollygag in the sun.
• dawdle : we're lollygagging along.
ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: of unknown origin.
I think I took a fancy to this particular word since I tend to do a lot of lollygagging around the yard, the neighborhood, the house, and the studio.
Is it just me or do you read the dictionary for fun too?
Bark at you later,
PJ the dog blogging dog :-)
