colonellingn.

Etymology: < assumed verb to colonel v.: see -ing suffix¹.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: coloˈnelling.

A Hudibrastic expression for: Acting or playing the colonel; in later times, sometimes taken humorously as ‘trying to raise a regiment, beating about for soldiers’. In Hudibras, probably traceable to that early stage of the Civil War when it was carried on with little general plan, and the doings of Colonel This and Colonel That (notably Colonel Cromwell) were conspicuous,—being independent manifestations of warlike energy, not parts of a strategic whole. (Edith Thompson.)
