To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an
old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so
slow, it was as if each
brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".
Dude, I spent all
day at
work goldbricking - surfing the
web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.
