gadabout:

1. a person who moves about restlessly or aimlessly, esp. from one social activity to another.
2. a person who travels often or to many different places, esp. for pleasure.

how to use in casual conversation:

"i think i'll be a gadabout and go to both parties"
"anthony bourdain is my favorite gadabout"
"what in the hell are you so gadabout?"

not to be confused with:

gadfly

how it makes me feel:

a little crazy to tell you the truth. so i'm like gadabout - ok, not bad. lets do that. then i thought about gadfly. then i thought 'whats with the gad- prefix? i'm not seeing the link between gadfly and gadabout' which led me here. then it was gad vs. Gad which involved god or God depending on your perspective and i'm looking for the connection but concluding that gad- might have had something to do with gadabout but might not have necessarily been a player in the origin of gadfly and i am so glad i'm going away for the long weekend because this kind of stuff is going to make my head explode.

editorial note:

have an amazing weekend. i'll be back on tuesday. try to remember that just because it's called labor day doesn't mean you should be doing anything important.
