Ss: Shilly-shallied

Derain: Shows a Good "Shilly-Shally"

Definition


To procrastinate.
To be unable to come to a decision.
To spend time on insignificant things.  Dawdle.

I just shilly-shallied all day. It was incredibly nice, not to be tied down to my agenda.

Literary Context


Cool breeze-maybe
just a shillyshallying show
That'll ruin everything.*
