The word is taken from the book by P.G.Wodehouse - The Manoeuvres of Charteris. Check: http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/1936/
I don't want a guess, i want the exact meaning. I've tried google and the dict, with no luck.

'Slacking!' said Charteris. 'I like that. I'm doing berrain work, Babe.
I'm writing an article on masters and their customs, which will cause a
profound sensation in the Common Room. At least it would, if they ever
saw it, but they won't. Or I hope they won't for their sake _and_
mine. So run away, my precious Babe, and don't disturb your uncle when
he's busy.'
