Footer
又是從蘇格蘭友人學來的。懶人也。亦可當動詞。形容詞是footery。
e.g.
Stop footering around and do your homework.
I don't want to hire him. He is a bit footery and takes long breaks.

Bum steer
這是從本地友人學的。
Bum steer: misleading instructions or guidance; a misleading suggestion. Typically: get bum steer; have bum steer; give someone bum steer
Examples:
Wilbur gave Ted a bum steer and Ted ended up in the wrong town.
I got a bum steer from the salesman, and I paid far more than I needed to for a used car.
