loafing around
Doing absolutely nothing
Loafing around is spending time idly, doing nothing productive.
The phrase emphasizes aimless leisure—not resting with purpose but simply wasting time: We spent the whole Saturday loafing around the house.
It carries mild disapproval when applied to others but affection when describing one's own laziness.
