"動詞として使用する場合は「ちんたらする」となる（否定形の「ちんたらするな」とい
う形で使われることが多い）。ちなみにこの場合も「日曜はちんたらしちゃった」といっ
たような、単に状況・行動を表す言葉としては使われない。" (zokugo)
but I don't think that's entirely true, or there's at least 
more nuance to it:
 "ごめん、ちんたらして" 17 results
"ちんたらしてて”　293　(unique)
  Comments: 
not necessarily two senses but vs on "dilatorily" isn't very
