“Drobbly” Sort of like, really good, great, excellent, nice…

That’s drobbly of you. (That nice of you.)

It’s a drobbly day. (It’s a good, nice, fair day.)

She looks drobbly in that dress. (She looks nice, cute, attractive in the dress.)

You don’t hear it much these days, but I like it. In fact I think it’s drobbly.

Well, at least the Aussie teen seemed just as clueless as some American teens! LOL

I enjoyed my hours at the Circular Quay in Sidney. I found it to be quite entertaining and educational. Fortunately, I was there in March…much better than Chicagoland in March.

Too bad Wilson wasn’t more skeptical of scientific racism, which he also thought intelligent (white) men should believe in.

So, erm, ‘drobbly’. What does that mean?! I guess it’s something good but I’ve never heard/seen it before…

John Minchin’s Woodrow Wilson quote is essentially accurate:

“May it not suffice for me to say in reply to your letter of August 25th, that, of course, like every other man of intelligence and education, I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should still be raised.

Sincerely yours,

Woodrow Wilson”

This was written in 1922
