dawdle 拖延

来自古英语方言daddle, 游荡，比较doodle, doddle, totter, toddle.

dawdle (v.): 1650s, perhaps a variant of daddle "to walk unsteadily." Perhaps influenced by daw, because the bird was regarded as sluggish and silly. Not in general use until c. 1775. Related: Dawdled; dawdling.

1. 谐音“踱踱”----一天到晚就踱踱步混日子。2. 谐音“多铎”----多铎游手好闲、混日子----多铎这货大家都认识吧，他是多尔衮的亲弟弟，你想象多铎这种八旗子弟游手好闲、混日子就行了；其实多铎是清初战功卓著的亲王，可以说仅次于多尔衮，但是后来染上天花挂了，只活了36岁就嗝儿屁了。
