Dillydally 

Verb: A waste time that one can quit at any given moment without consequence.

Dillydallying must be a waste of time, though it may be enriching. It must not have a greater goal other than general procrastination or extention of inexertion. One may dilly dally without knowing, or it may be intentional, but overal it should waste your time/and or the time of others. Generally such activities that fall under the category of dilly dallying are pointless, needless, and just interesting enough to keep one's general focus without requiring too much mental capacity and potential for short-term burn out. Essentially, you could do this activity for all eternity, or for 3 minutes.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
