, and though that would make more sense, it definatly wouldn't flow well in translation so they put dilly dally...yeah we should turn this into a commonly used phrase just so that it makes sense in that context!
dilly-dally makes me cringe.
DRAGGING! IT MEANS DRAGGING, DAMMIT! It is onomatapoeia for dragging. It is actually MORE inane and childish sounding than dilly dally shilly shally.Quote:
