Profaffinating 

The art or skill of professionally waisting time.

Chiefly UK English.

An amalgamation of pro + faff

Somewhat akin to procrastinating, instead of thinking it would relate to waisting time.

For example. When leaving your house, then returning to collect your phone, then leaving again to return to pick up an umbrella.
Sorry we're late we were profaffinating.

Yesterday i profaffinated for so long i missed the last bus.

You deserve a gold medal for time spent profaffinating

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
