Dragging is a verb that typically means pulling something along, which can often feel slow or laborious. Some synonyms for dragging include hauling, tugging, lugging, and trudging. Hauling involves carrying something heavy or bulky, whereas tugging usually involves an intermittent pulling motion. Lugging is similar to hauling but often implies a greater difficulty in the task at hand. Trudging refers to walking or moving slowly and with effort, often used to describe a person's movements. Meanwhile, dragging can also mean prolonging something unnecessarily, with synonyms such as procrastinating, stalling, or lingering. Each of these synonyms carries a slightly different nuance but can be used in place of dragging depending on the context of the sentence.
