Bobcat,

What does "คั่นเวลา" mean?

คั่นเวลา is about the same as ฆ่าเวลา

It's an activity (กิจกรรม) you do in order to not be bored

Here is an example of a man stuck in traffic on his way back from the office.. so he starts beatboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5KMb-UKXow

Bobcat,

What does "คั่นเวลา" mean?

As based on the meaning of คั่น itself and the context of its occurrence here, I'd say it means something like
"to apportion time/ to devote time [to a thing, activity or purpose]."

Thus, 'the time you use up flirting with somebody'.

That doesn't make sense in this context. However, to translate คั่นเวลา as kill time might be too unclear, but I can't seem to think of any other word which would fit in well in this sentence structure.. I'll try to explain it further.

การคบกับใครเพื่อคั่นเวลา <-- Here is the phrase we want to translate.

การคบกับใคร in this context, it would mean being in a relationship with someone , or perhaps getting into a relationship with someone

เพื่อคั่นเวลา let's wait with this one for a sec

Now, since they are talking about relationships, คนคั่นเวลา or ตัวคั่นเวลา is the person who you will go to after you've just broken up with someone, but not because you love him/her, but because you just broke up with someone. Sort of like the rebound guy / girl, who you will leave after you've gotten back up on your feet again.

So what we can say is that ตัวคั่นเวลา is someone you go to, to let time go by as you wait for something else.. basically killing time, right?

Therefore, I translated เพื่อคั่นเวลา as to kill time
