What does MOOLY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialect
A cow that has no horns.
A mooly, also spelled mulley or mooley in older farm writing, is simply a cow born without horns or bred from a naturally hornless line. Farmers once prized a mooly cow because it was safer to keep in a crowded byre and less likely to injure other cattle or the people milking it. The word is now mostly dialect, heard in older rural speech rather than in modern farming vocabulary.
