Examples of use of gadding
1. Indolence prevents me searching for the names of the five who are not gadding about in ermine or at least upgrading their stationery, but they must be seriously ghastly for New Labour to deem them infra dig. (If only we knew the assumed name under which lottery–winning rapist Iorworth Hoare is now living ...) After all, the terminally exasperated John Reid reacted to anger about the Desmond donation by explaining that the party was not in the business of making "moral judgments ... on those who wish to contribute". Which kind of makes you feel Saddam Hussein missed a trick.
