Definition
Characterized by frivolous behavior; wasting time on trifles; trivial or pointless in nature.
Etymology
Present participle of 'fribble,' functioning as an adjective. The '-ing' suffix, from Old English '-ing,' can create both gerunds (nouns) and present participles/adjectives, depending on context.
Kelly Says
English's '-ing' form is beautifully versatile—'fribbling' can be a noun ('I hate all this fribbling'), an adjective ('that fribbling fool'), or part of a verb ('he is fribbling away'). This flexibility makes English both efficient and occasionally ambiguous.
