Bandera de México

/an-DAR deh AH-nee-mahs/

To wander aimlessly or roam around with nowhere to be, like a restless ghost. In Mexico andar de ánimas is what you do when you're floating through life with no plan and no purpose.

Example

"You've been wandering around all day with nothing to do."

"Stop floating around and go do something useful."
