To pootle is to go along in a slow, pleasant way, doing small things that do not matter much: pootle around the shops, pootle along a quiet road. There is no rush and no big goal. It is British, informal, and gentle — a little cute. Americans almost never use it; they might say potter around or around. You will hear it from British speakers talking about a lazy morning, not in a news report. Though actually, it can be a noun too in some British talk (“a pootle around town”), but the verb is the one meet. Scholars do not all agree where it came from, so the origin stays a “probably.”
閒晃、慢慢晃（英式口語）
組成Apparently an alteration of poodle, from German Low German Pudel, from pudeln (“to splash about”), merged with tootle. Alternatively, a blend of doodle (“to draw with no plan”) and potter (“to move with no plan”) — a story reported by 1970s English visitors to Australia.
