"prolly" ???
Hypertext Webster Gateway Error
No definition found for "prolly"
SOUNDS LIKE:
Main Entry: brol·ly
Pronunciation: 'brä-lE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural brollies
Etymology: by shortening & alteration
Date: circa 1874
chiefly British : UMBRELLA
I take it that "prolly" is a similar kind of word derived "by
shortening & alteration" from "probably". Lets please try to speak
dictionary english, as perhaps determined by a spell checker, on this
list, especially considering all the recent discussion about
Apostolics and scholarship. :-)
