Fat Fingered "Chully" Chipping

Fat fingered cell phone texting. I, a recent victim...

Friday I'm in a sporatic "text volley" with a friend. We ended "advantage out" with my friend's response of the evening. He typed the word "chully." Just "chully"....I gave it a scrunched nose and a mimed "what the?" The "chully" text was in response to my son's change in back yard camping plans due to the weather and me moving camping indoors. "Chully." Hmmm...I was convinced I'd missed the latest pop culture memo (or rather txt). I always seem to be behind on that stuff. It bugged me enough to go "google it" the next morning. "Chully" was a no show in the Google Cloud. I even asked my mom, who knows the Latin root of every word. She was a strike two and Latinless. My friend is one with very broad brush vocab, so my thought was "ahhh...perhaps something from England or Ireland." Chully could be British...sounds British. So I went up to "the google plate" for one more time at "bat. " Aimed, left field at the Queens land and this time "base hit"...."Chully" came up (sort of) The only definition for "Chully" that exists....it's a girl's name and it means "smart." How nice of my friend to think I'm smart (smiling). Oh, but euphoria not to last.....I bounced a txt to him, painting my "chully" (smart) conclusions. After a while he bounced back saying "you are working it too hard. I fat fingered it and it should have said "chilly" in response to the weather" Are you kidding me? I'd been to England and back for a fat fingered chipping! The entire journey took less than 20 minutes (by chully), but still... :)

(side bar) My friend David and I were wondering how to use the word (noun) "flibbertigibbet" in a sentence the other day. It means a chattering or flighty, light-headed person. Think I've figured it out (meaning me). :)

Well on the bright side, I could start dropping "chullys" in casual conversation, text, etc - get ahead of the pop culture curve for once. Tell people in Idaho it's British for "smart girl," see where it goes......What are your fat fingered "chips?"
