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.
