Dilly-dally

You're late! Sheesh, dilly-dally dilly-dally ...

Let's get going! We have no time to dilly-dally.

“I wouldn't dilly-dally long if I were you,” said Harkless, and his advice seemed good to the shell-men.

It likewise manifests the frankness of men who do not dilly-dally with terms, but who say what they mean, and who mean to settle down to a long, hard fight.

No one can accuse the filmmakers of dillydallying; no sooner have the opening credits ended than we’re watching, via a mirrored ceiling, a couple writhing naked in coital ecstasy.
