Definitions
New Zealand informal slang for wasting time or messing around without purpose — the kind of aimless dithering that happens when you should be doing something productive but somehow an hour just disappears. It implies a light-hearted pointlessness rather than deliberate laziness, the verbal equivalent of wandering around the house picking things up and putting them down. Perfect for calling someone out when they're clearly procrastinating without committing to it.
Stop fluffing about on your phone and help me pack up these boxes.
