Girls: Our intent was to go to the grocery store, but along the way we stopped at a flee market, then followed a sign to a garage sale, then stopped on the side of the road to look at puppies for sale. When we finally arrived at the grocery store it was closed.

fucking around

Not at all engaged in nothing productive. Though it may appear to an observer that the subject is doing nothing or thinly disguising his or her apparent idleness with misleading activity, the subject may be more open to the discovery of something new than if he/she was not fucking around.
Hence, fucking around may be a modest term for continuous searching, remaining open to any and all fresh input.
Fucking around may be experimentation in its noblest form.

"What are you doing?" (asked while doodling on the guitar)
"Oh, just fucking around." By such fucking around there may be a sudden new melody that comes to the one who doodles on the guitar.
