Quoted as “(v.) to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.” It’s featured as a fairly popular hipster post online. There seems to be no variations of the definition. The post definition is likely the first use of the word. Not to be confused with the unrelated word “caddywhomupus.” The original definition gives no example of how it’s used and the word is still in its infancy so use it however you want.

Could be regarded as a “made up word” but that would be silly because all words are made up. It’s worth noting that Shakespeare “made up” a lot of words commonly used today. Also, the word quiz supposedly started out defined on a wall somewhere and people just started using it.

“What all are you going to see when you’re in Europe?”
“I’m going to coddiwomple.”

“I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m going to do it awesomely”
“So you’re coddiwompling?”
“I’m what”

Leaving your family at home and disappearing on an "adventure" for a month long journey of masturbation and self discovery (mostly discovering yourself masturbating).
A term often used by "Plastic Vanlifers" to give the impression they're exploring unchartered territory whilst seeking out the same tourist spots as everyone else on the way to their final destination... the same holiday park they've stayed at for the last 3 years.

I'm heading off on a coddiwomple. I've got plenty of lube so don't worry.
