gallivant（v.）
"gad about, spend time in frivolous pleasure-seeking, especially with the opposite sex," 1809年，起源不明，可能是 gallant 的一种玩笑性发挥，表示“表现出绅士风度，调情，四处闲逛”。相关词汇： Gallivanted; gallivanting。
Young Lobski said to his ugly wife,
"I'm off till to-morrow to fish, my life;"
Says Mrs. Lobski, "I'm sure you a'nt",
But you brute you are going to gallivant."
What Mrs. Lobski said was right,
Gay Mr. Lobski was out all night.
He ne'er went to fish, 'tis known very well
But where he went I shall not tell.

年轻的洛布斯基对他丑陋的妻子说，
“我要去钓鱼，明天才回来； ”
洛布斯基夫人说：“我敢肯定你不是去钓鱼，
你这个畜生，你要去四处玩乐。”
洛布斯基夫人说得对，
快乐的洛布斯基整夜都在外面。
他从未去过钓鱼，这是众所周知的，
但他去了哪里，我就不说了。
