lollop
Galumph along loosely
Lollop is to move with a loose, ungainly, bouncing gait—the way a large dog runs or a person ambles lazily: The retriever lolloped across the yard.
The word suggests relaxed, floppy movement without urgency or grace.
It can also describe sprawling or lounging: He lolloped on the couch all afternoon.
