Gammerstang commented on the word dringle
(verb) - To waste time in a lazy lingering manner. It has exactly the same sense as drumble, which Mrs. Ford uses in The Merry Wives of Windsor, in berating her servants for not being more nimble in carrying off the laundry-basket. Had that merry gossip been an East Angle, she must have said dringle.
