Pooting

Yorkshire (and possibly broader) slang that is pretty old and perhaps only in common usage in the countryside.

Pooting: To wander in a relaxed manner; potentially from poot = fart, -> ‘farting about’ meaning to do something in an inefficient manner, not necessarily interested in any particular end goal.

“Hey Jim. Are you about today? Fancy a pint?”

“Hey Tim. Nah, sorry mate, me and the missus are pooting around Dalby Forest for the weekend. I’m not sure when we’ll be back.”
