Australian, verb: to waste time; to spend time in
unnecessary and/or unproductive activities; to muck around; to faff about.
Derived from the late great comedian John Clarke's commentary on the obscure but
magnificent (and totally nonexistent) sport of farnarkeling.
The
leadership team as usual just farnarkled about for the whole strategic retreat, all they produced were some hangovers and a few
irrelevant flip charts covered with
sticky notes.
All you ever do is farnarkle. Will you just bloody well finish the dishes?
"In essence, Farnarkeling is engaged in by two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and to prevent the other team from arkeling, using a flukem to propel a gonad through sets of posts situated at random around the periphery of a grommet."
