Today’s idiom is «ходить вокруг да около» or «to walk round and about»

literally means to walk round and about. Ходи́ть means to walk, to go. Вокру́г means around, and о́коло is about.

We use this expression when someone is trying to avoid saying something openly, frankly, directly. When he or she approaches a matter in a roundabout way.
