A Dutch writer coined a verb for that 'epibreren/to epibrate (loose translation).
It means 'walking around looking busy' but it sounds like something important, so when asked what you've been doing you can answer 'i was busy epibrating'.
It makes the interlocutor feel like you've done something important, yet he'd feel silly about asking what it is exactly what you've been doing.
