On a roll this week.
My boss, who is Australian, just expressed her love of the word "swithering"; her take was that it was a cross between "swaying" and "dithering". Sounds about right since it indicates having difficulty in choosing between the options available.
She said she also liked "minging" but I'm pretty sure that's not Scottish and I personally think it's a horrible word, although I suppose that's effective since it's used to describe something that is not very pleasant. A "minger" is an unattractive person.
