gadabouts
Restless pleasure seekers
Gadabouts is the plural of gadabout—a person who moves restlessly from place to place, especially in pursuit of pleasure or social activity.
The term carries a mildly disapproving tone, suggesting someone frivolous or unable to settle down: Those gadabouts are never home when you need them.
