Lollygagging

The title has nothing to do with this post. I just like the word... even though I do not understand it. I looked it up just so you won't laugh at me.

lol·ly·gag
ˈlälēˌgag/
verb
North American informal
gerund or present participle: lollygagging
    spend time aimlessly; idle.
    "he sends her to Arizona every January to lollygag in the sun"
      dawdle.
        "we're lollygagging along"

It's weird, a "lolly" is a nickname for "lollipop" and one might reasonably think "lollygagging" is choking on a lollipop. Only it isn't. It's something entirely different and it has nothing whatsoever to do with lollipops and everything to do with laziness and sloth. Now, laziness and sloth are terms near and dear to my heart. I have been practicing these from my earliest days.  That's right, I'm a lollygagger. I have always been one. My mother said I was a month late being born. Apparently, I even lollygagged when it came to that. I can't be sure, even though I was there, I don't recall the event.

Over the years, I became quite adept at it... lollygagging, that is, not being born (that came naturally, I suppose).

Everyone is good at something, they say, and lollygagging is my forte'.
