To twiddle your thumbs- to just sit around because you don't have anything to do
E.g After finishing your homework, instead of just twiddling your thumbs, why don't you help your mother?
E.g Don't rush the exam otherwise you'll just be twiddling your thums at the end.
To twiddle- to fiddle with nervously or without purpose; to turn
E.g She spent the whole lesson twiddling with her hair.
E.g Twiddle the knob and the lens will come into focus
E.g I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there twiddling with my handbag
