The term dilly-dally is often used to indicate someone is wasting time or moving too slow. Some may use the term as a gentle way to tell a friend to hurry up! You could hear them say “quit dilly-dallying and get a move on it.” This is not a new term, with records indicating its use in the 16th century.
Dilly-dally may be a term to describe this year’s flu season. It took its time coming, but it is now spreading rapidly in the United States due to a new variant of the flu.
John Gilbert had an amazing life. He went to school at Rawson and played football. Bluffton High School had an all-state player named Howard Triplehorn, who was an outstanding athlete as a running back. He received a scholarship from Michigan. Triplehorn was also a sophomore on the basketball team in 1928-1929, which won 23 straight games and lost to Akron St. Mary's in the state championship game, 28 to 26. Howard was the second leading scorer on the team.
