A Scottish dialect gem that covers everything from wobbly walking to aimless wandering. To daidle is to totter or shuffle along unsteadily, or simply to saunter without any particular purpose — the kind of slow, unhurried movement that drives impatient people mad. As a noun it also means a pinafore, though the verb senses are far more colourful. Think of it as the Scottish cousin of dawdling, with an extra hint of instability.
