Jerry was waffleing out of doing his chores around the house because he decided to rake leaves. another example would be to be set on one idea then change your mind.
Excessive talking, sometimes to the point where it gets boring and drags on for way too long, aka rambling.
It's a slangword used in Britain, but mainly in London or other parts of England by roadmen / younger generations.
"Bro my Psychology teacher is so boring, they're always waffling about nonsense that has nothing to do with the lesson."
"I definitely failed that History test, I just waffled tbh."
"That Biology question was so long and irrelevant, there was so much waffle in it I barely knew what they were asking me to do."
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
