dawdler

Militão this time was chief dawdler, allowing Sterling to charge him down and he was lucky to win a foul.

Signs remind dawdlers that “Mona Lisa has a great many admirers. Please remember to keep your visit short and sweet to give everyone the chance to meet her.”

A few dawdlers rushed to their seats as the audience quieted down.

They imagine a woman spontaneously getting cold feet in her third trimester, or an indecisive dawdler who decides, on a whim, at twenty-seven weeks, that she’s simply done.

Strivers and dawdlers and passers-by, all oblivious to what is transpiring above.
