Be a Babu

To "be a babu" means to procrastinate or take forever to do a simple task...

Originated from the term "Babu": a government worker (in Indian subcontinent), typically a clerk or official, who takes a year to do what would normally take a day.... unless he/she has a vested interest (such as bribe) to get it done faster...

Guy: Dude, what's taking you so long to finish the paperwork?
Friend: I dunno man.... I'm not sure I want to do it...
Guy: Don't be a babu now!

Babu

When you say babu to someone, it means that they are a kiddo! If someone calls you a babu it means you are like a lil kid. It is very different from the word "baby" because "babu" has a bit more spice to it. It's not a negative or positive word, but rather a nickname.
