Quoted as “(v.) to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.” It’s featured as a fairly popular hipster post online. There seems to be no variations of the definition.

Could be regarded as a “made up word” but that would be silly because all words are made up. It’s worth noting that Shakespeare “made up” a lot of words commonly used today. Also, the word quiz supposedly started out defined on a wall somewhere and people just started using it.
“What all are you going to see when you’re in Europe?”
“I’m going to coddiwomple.”
“I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m going to do it awesomely”
“So you’re coddiwompling?”
“I’m what”

Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
