    Vacillate- to waver between or be indecisive.

    Good word, I thought of Vaseline and that would have a completely different definition.

    I like vacillate. Actually, I am rather partial to words ending in "ate": pontificate, for example, or masticate, exacerbate, ruminate, sublimate, facilitate, accumulate, circumambulate, scholasticate, expatiate, ....

    But yeah, vacillate is a good one alright - it's one of those ones that makes the user sound intelligent no matter what the context.

    My Dad used to say if I vacillated too much I'd go blind. He wasn't entirely correct as I can still see but require eyeglasses.
