Word Entry: Act 2 Scene 1

1. Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, Quarreling, drabbing - you may go so far. (25)

2. My guess:  I think he is talking about goofing-off or wasting time at school the kind of thing parents usually worry that their kids are doing while away.

3. Definition: to be or become wet and muddy or to go through wet or miry places (merriam-webster.com).

4. Explanation: Instead of goofing off, the father wants to make sure his son isn't hanging out in inappropriate places. For example, places considered morally dirty like gambling places or bars with prostitutes.
