• Mooley

  Once upon a time, my mother and I decided to make-up a word.  And we thought, "everyone makes up nouns, verbs and adjectives, what about an adverb?"  Remember, an adverb is a word that defines or qualifies either a verb or an adjective or another adverb and it usually ends in 'ly' such as quickly or intensely. So we came up with 'mooley', which is like an uber "very".

   

  Unbeknownst to me, I looked up the word 'mooley' on Google and found that, indeed, someone had used that word before.  But not as an adverb and not in a very nice way - and I'll bet it's because I inverted the 'l' & the 'e'.  So please let it be known that I made up this word a very long time ago - long before the Urban Slang dictionary even came out - and it is not a mean thing to say about people 'acting Italian' - whatever that might mean.

   

  So in order to spread the word, I thought I'd better get the word out to the five people who read here.  I know that is not a lot, but if I tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on and so on, as the Faberge advertisement goes, then it will be huge.  But if I tell 5 friends, then it will be a mooley big movement.
