| 词汇 | lollygagging |
| 词源 | lollygagging. The Dictionary of Americanisms quotes an in- dignant citizen in the year of our Lord 1868 on “the lascivious lolly-gagging lumps of licenteousness who disgrace the com- mon decencies of life by their love-sick fawnings at our public dances.” This is the first recorded use of lollygagging, which means “to fool around, dawdle, waste time” and can mean “lovemaking,” though this last is no waste of time and my dear old grandmother never used the word in such a way to me. |
