To lollop is to walk or run in an awkward, galloping way. Energetic, long-legged puppies tend to lollop around, stumbling and leaping as they go.

When people lollop, they do a kind of goofy gallop — a little kid is much more likely to lollop than her dignified grandfather is. Young animals also tend to lollop, like a clumsy young colt or a bouncy, capering kitten. The verb lollop probably comes from loll, "to lounge idly," which is thought to be imitative in origin — in other words, the word itself sounds like rocking or swinging.
