EN: to stand around; to stand up intermittently
This is what you do when you're waiting for your friend who's "on the way" but is probably still in the shower.

It's the official verb for people waiting in line at the bank or for a bus.
A repetitive or frequentative form of "tumayo," indicating repeated or aimless standing.
