"procrastinating"

[Mr Jones]

It only becomes popular at uni..

Truth.

Student + Coursework = Procrastinating.

I prefer Procrasturbation.

The act of staving off more weighty tasks by ... ahem

What if it were to be done with a partner, together?

Procrastimating?

I was procrastinating from posting in here but I finally did it.

 

[Duff-Man]

Patience is just procrastination without the anxiety.

i used this ince school... it was my excuse for getting out of homework.. non of the other kids knew what it meant so it seemed like a good excuse... but now the tables have turned and i actually procrastinate a hell of a lot!!

 

[gurusan]

perhaps not a good sign.

- Ellen DeGeneres

Definitely a uni word. Though I did use it at school a lot, always been in my vocabulary somewhere. It's a stupid thing to do as if you just bloody got whatever it is done, then you can relax without it hanging over you... But then there's always *something* that needs doing. Sigh.

 

[Dreadi]

I've been procrastinating (and using the word) for years.

 

[semi-pro waster]

I wouldn't have thought it a particularly unusal word or one that has recently seen a resurgence in popularity but I hardly follow the trends of word usage.

I do have a t-shirt with "Procrastinators - leaders of tomorrow" or similar on it which I rather like because it is both true and insults the present leadership subtly.

I've used the term for nearly a decade now, likewise actually doing the thing.

 

[chiggz]

whoa.. so during an msn conversation yesterday someone mentioned this word and i asked for a definition.. a few hours later and someone uses the word on my [facebook] wall! and now a thread on it.. oo..

 

[iamdjdz]

I'm procrastinating by using this, have been for an hour and a half now... Got so much work to do as well.

Uh huh, can't believe there are people who don't know what it means

I used a word the other day over lunch and it stopped people eating. I thought I made a social faux pas, turns out they just hadn't heard the word before (pertinacious).

Have to admit I needed to look that up. What's wrong with 'persistent'?

I have rediscovered 'discombobulated' which is rather nice, if a bit of a bar-stewardisation!

Nothing is wrong with it, but it means something completely different.

...I suppose you could have a persistent procrastinator: Someone who regularly procrastinates and resists changing.

I've noticed it cropping up recently. Still, its better than everything being "random" as was the craze a while back.
