Definition
In a foolish, silly, or stupid manner; behaving in a way that shows a lack of intelligence or common sense.
Etymology
From 'booby' (a foolish person, from Spanish 'bobo' meaning fool) plus the adverb-forming suffix '-ily.' Describes actions performed in a foolish manner.
Kelly Says
English speakers could say 'foolishly,' but saying someone acted 'boobily' is much more fun—and these quirky adjectives and adverbs are what make English colorful and expressive!
