Someone whose hand thinks while their brain pretends to listen.
means A person who draws absentminded little scribbles and shapes, usually in the margins while supposedly paying attention to something else.
from From 'doodle,' which in the 1600s originally meant a fool or simpleton (related to the old German 'dudeltopf,' a simpleton or 'nightcap' of a fellow). By the 1930s, 'doodle' had drifted toward its modern sense of idle scribbling — possibly because an absentminded sketcher seemed a bit of a fool to the person trying to lecture them. 'Doodler' simply tacks on the agent suffix, naming the person caught in the act.
