Georging

To George means making someone wait an inordinately long time on a promise you don't intend to fulfil

"He's had over a decade to get this book written. What's taking him so long?"

"Have faith, he just needs some time and when we do get to read it imagine how good it will be with how much time he's taken."

"And I think he's been georging everyone and with the amount of side projects he has going on? It's likely he ain't got the spark he used to and forget about A Dream of Spring."
