DAY 66 New Beginnings and Hope are you doing what honors you, and your heart?

LOLLYGAG

verb, to spend time idly, aimlessly, or foolishly, dawdle

While some of us were content to spend our time on the island lollygagging about at he beach, others were compelled to explore the island's famous caves.

DO WHAT HONORS YOU, AND YOUR HEART

You certainly didn't want to be known as a 'lollygagger" at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, "lollygag" was slang for "fooling around" (sexually, that is). That sense of "lollygag" was in use as long ago as 1868, and it probably originated as an alteration of the older (and more dawdlingly innocent) "lollygag." Nowadays, "lollygag" doesn't usually carry such naughty connotations, but back in 1946, one U.S. Navy captain considered lollygagging enough of a problem to issue this stern warning: "Lovemaking and lollygagging are hereby strictly forbidden.... The holding of hands, osculation and constant embracing of WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), corpsmen or civilians and sailors or any combination of male and female personnel is a violation of naval discipline...."
