perendinate - v., to put off till the day after tomorrow; to make an indefinite stay (esp. at college).


In the first sense, that day after tomorrow part is key: the word was coined from Latin perendie, on the day after tomorrow. This is, alas, rare -- but then, it's not exactly a common decision, either.
