To act in a foolish or frivolous manner. To waste(opportunities etc,etc).

Is this more, or less, frivolous than fiddling?

I thought I remembered that being a milk-shake-related drink!

From Wikipedia:
Fribble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Fribble is a milkshake-like product that can be found at Friendly's restaurants. They are made with milk and ice milk and are available in a variety of flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, black and white, and mocha.


A Fribble is also an effeminate fop; after a character in David Garrick's farce Miss in Her Teens; or, The Medley of Lovers (1747)

Also a verb meaning to scramble or confuse one's thoughts. "Leave me alone, you've fribbled my head!"

Hmmm, what flavor is "black and white"?
