Happy Fathers Day from Longest Acres Farm!

Lollygag - Here is an intransitive verb that our most scholarly dictionaries mark orig. obs., meaning "the etymology beats us." It reflects the mood of the summertime — "lounge lazily; dawdle, idle, dally, loiter," usually used in disapproval by the industrious — the word of obscure origin deserves more serious analysis. The root is to loll, "to dangle, hang loosely" as wet leaves, or as a thirsty animal's tongue; the tongue association continues with lollipop. The verb and subsequent noun, loller, picked up a gag suffix in the 19th century, as something worthless: "ain't wuth a lallygag."
Within a decade, the verb form gained an added sense of "fooling around": an 1862 Harper's magazine story told of a man fi*****ng the meat of a lobster and being rebuked with "none o' that ere lallygag" by his companion. On top of this fooling-around meaning came a sense of sensuality, which reached its apogee in a burst of alliteration in Iowa's Northern Vindicator in 1868 (inspiring to at least one speechwriter a century later) lashing "the lascivious lolly-gagging lumps of licentiousness who disgrace the common decencies of life by their lovesick fawning at our public dances."

In our time, the sense of sexual dalliance has receded as the original meaning of the word — "to loll about; idling lazily" — has reasserted itself. It is not slang but a term with a longstanding pedigree that does not deserve being slighted as "informal" or having its etymology shrugged off as "origin obscure." Although the dawdling activity it describes may be deserving of mild reproof, the word itself has mellifluidity and color and deserves a place in formal discourse. NY Times
