I was posting on the 2008 thread earlier which ofcourse naturally lead to a conversation about pasties. I mentioned that I, like most right thinking people, often hang about outside food shops just to help myself to a bit of free smell but which is the most appropriate word for this? |

Isn't "loitering" something that people from New Jersey do when they drop trash? |

I'm glad to see that lingering is winning, it does add an air of romanticism to this activity which the other two words fail to suggest. In fact lurkeing gives the whole past time a slightly depraved feel. |

I chose 'linger' because I am a lingerer from way back. |

Lingering Mark. Now I feel I want to linger outside a pasty shop right now.

I call it harmless calories - sort of like sniffing my vanilla candles and body lotion! |
