what u do at work or school when u wanna avoid doin real work but act like u are so ur authority figure gives u credit. it's really funny sometimes, but there are only certain days u can dilly dally, maybe twice a week. if u have no real work then dilly dally ALL U WANT!!
joe: yo school fuckin sucks, i have gym next
jane: i have science next and i dont feel like doin shit, so i'm gonna dilly dally till the period ends.
An expression used to chastize someone who is wasting time, focusing on unimportant things, procratinating, or otherwise being an emo blond-haired sissy boy.

Dilly dally shilly shally... Cloud, you need to save the kids before their eyes get all fucked up!
