What does this expression mean? - 06-26-2010, 07:17 AM

I got back from Japan a couple weeks ago and I've heard the expression "goro goro" when I was there and also from family members before, I'm half Japanese, I took the following pic at Ice Cream City in Namjatown,Ikebukuro and it has the same expression. So, what does it mean, it says it in both hiragana and katakana.

In the pic, it means something (squid in this case) "coming in chunks".

It has different meanings and the most often-used is "spending time idly in the house", which is probably what was meant by your family members.
