English term or phrase: when I was hanging out at the bottom of the river
there is no further information. Is it an expression which means something specific "to hang out at the bottom of the river"?
Thank you!

Explanation:
s'il s'agit du même épisode des frères scott (que votre question précédente), votre phrase n'a pas le sens choisi dans le contexte.

"Rachel : Ouais, je peux savoir ce qu’il s’est passé entre vous? J’ai manqué quelques petites choses pendant que j’étais partie me baigner."

Loin de moi l'idée de copier le script, mais ça aide au moins à savoir de quoi on parle (contexte) et elle ne trainait donc pas au fond de la rivière, elle ne faisait que se baigner.

my two cents.
