Phrase borrowed from American football terminology to indicate a player or team running out the final seconds of a football game (the act itself consists of literally touching one's knee to the floor to facilitate the running of the game clock), "taking a knee" is the act of putting oneself in cruise control, usually in a work setting or some other undesirable situation. The individual is physically present, but his mind is not on his task, and there may even be some goofing off associated with "taking a knee." Mostly used by professional sports savvy men.
Since it is the Friday before a long weekend and I don't want to do any work, I'm "taking a knee" today.

Often seen/heard are half finished sentences, looks of complete amazement at the piff coming out of peoples mouths and the obligutory quote "sorry what was i talking about.....".
This piffleing ramble can go on for upwards of 4-5 hours which is the way this definition is heading.
