lollygaggers
Those who dally
Lollygaggers are people who waste time or dawdle instead of getting things done.
The word carries a tone of mild exasperation: Those lollygaggers have been on their coffee break for an hour.
Someone might affectionately call friends lollygaggers for taking too long to get ready, or use it more critically for workers avoiding their duties.
