GWD: Lollygag

Most certainly a gnomish word, embodying gnomish ethics, or lack thereof. As ever, one of those "origin unknown" kinds of words that are the chubby thumbprint of gnomish wordsmithery. Although it's curious to me that the origin's unknown but the first use of it is known. Frickin' Victorians, lollygagging about for their gnomish masters...

lollygag
intr.v.
To waste time by puttering aimlessly; dawdle.

origin unknown
First Known Use: 1868
