Wouldn't that be "'Whiling' away the time?"

You're right!
Grammarist: "The phrase meaning to pass time idly is while away. It is older and more logical than wile away. But because the second phrase occurs so frequently, it is now included in many dictionaries and is rarely considered incorrect.
But wile is mainly a noun—meaning (1) trickery, cunning; (2) a disarming or seductive manner; (3) or a trick intended to deceive—and it’s occasionally used as a verb meaning to influence by wile. None of these definitions has anything to do with idly passing time, so wile away doesn’t make logical sense. Again, however, it is now a conventionalized misspelling, and only the most persnickety readers will think it wrong."
Well, dang. I've been misusing it my whole life.

There was a blonde stewardess who experienced the same thing. She ran into another room and got a pistol, ran back to the bedroom and put the gun to her head. Her husband told the woman in bed with him "see, I told you she was nuts". His blonde wife said "Shut up! You're next!!"
