hully-gully
adj.— «You take a kid nowadays and throw him a ball in a vacant lot, they’re not going to line up in and run wishbone.…They’re going to junk it around the yard a little bit, kind of hully-gully style. That’s what I call this offense: It’s an organized hully-gully deal.» —“Are you experienced?” by Dave Matter Columbia Daily Tribune (Missouri) Apr. 19, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
