What does PULLY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A pullover, a knitted sweater put on by pulling it over the head.
Pully is a casual shortening used mainly in British speech, especially by or about children putting on a warm jumper before going outside. The spelling is easy to confuse with pulley, the wheel-and-rope device for lifting loads, but the two words are unrelated: pully names a garment, not a mechanism. Because it belongs to everyday spoken English rather than formal writing, pully rarely appears in print outside dialogue or informal notes.
