To loll is to dangle or droop, like a dog's tongue hanging out or a person's arm dangling over a seat. The word paints a picture of something resting slack instead of being held upright. Like many words that seem to mimic the actions they describe, loll has a sound that feels as loose and unhurried as its meaning.
Example: Tired after a long shift, he let his arms loll over the side of the sofa.
