So Mrs. Dog and I were talking tonight and the context of the story leads her to say "GalleyLag." So, I corrected her (hate it when I do that). I said, "You mean Lollygag?" She said, "No. GalleyLag!" 
But this is where it get's interesting. Her Father was in the Army during Vietnam era, and when he came home he said GalleyLag (I'm thinking a mess hall in the Navy should be considered and would be someone hanging around to long in there, I should listen closely). But I was in the Army as well, and I never heard the term GalleyLag until today. I'm 51yrs old? So when I wanted to show proof it was LollyGag, all I had was this? Not very supportive.
So then, I go to the Merriam-Webster, and Lollygag is in there: "to spend time doing things that are not useful or serious : to fool around and waste time."
But when I look at GalleyLag, I get this: The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary.
Has anyone heard of Galleylag? I find this very interesting for some reason.
