The word for today is…
loll (verb):
1 : to hang loosely or laxly : droop
2 : to act or move in a lax, lazy, or indolent manner
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : Loll has origins similar to those of another soothing verb, lull, which means “to cause to rest or sleep.” Both words can be traced back to 14th-century Middle English and probably originated as imitations of the soft sounds people make when resting or trying to soothe someone else to sleep. Loll has also been used in English as a noun meaning “the act of lolling” or “a relaxed posture,” but that use is now considered archaic. In its “recline” or “lean” sense, loll shares synonyms with a number of “l” verbs, including loaf, lounge, and laze.
