You guys...you lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry! "Lollygaggers!" "Lollygaggers."
— Bull Durham ‧ 1988
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker repeats “lollygag” while listing sluggish behaviour around a baseball field, then asks for the inevitable label: “lollygaggers.” Calling on Larry turns the answer into a brief exchange. The repetition makes the reprimand comic while driving home one accusation: insufficient effort.
