loll

The aboatia’s long tongue lolls cartoonishly out of the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, perked up ears with a tongue lolling does not read as scared so much as “squirrel!”

That section once held a restaurant, a public restroom building, and several sea lion viewing holes — openings in the decking used to watch the pinnipeds lolling on the crossbeams below.

“The city was already draped in swastikas. Bright red flags hanging, flapping, lolling like dead tongues from every corner shop … Berlin was bleeding from the inside out.”

That seesawing piano riff on the soundtrack could be rain droplets or an improvisatory theme for a couple lolling around an open-air market trying on sunglasses.
