In response to Linger
Hmmmm… dawdle, drift, idle, remain, stay, stick around, wait….
It’s kinda hard to not go with Dawdle here. I mean… this is one of those words that looks, sounds and even feels like what it means. Dawdle. Aurally, it sounds like a cousin to doddering, which also speaks to an absent-minded state of … not quite confusion … meandering ambivalence (also a great word).
Waking someone from their dawdling reverie should always result in a “Huh, what?”
