dummying
Creating placeholder version
Dummying is creating a preliminary version or mockup, especially in publishing and design: We spent the morning dummying up the magazine layout.
In sports like rugby, dummying means faking a pass to deceive an opponent.
The word also covers the act of staying silent or becoming a dummy—refusing to speak: He's been dummying up since the cops arrived.
