Kelly Says

This is technically a real word but almost never used—it's hard to describe actions 'furrily' since actions aren't hairy! You might see it in poetry or whimsical writing to describe something moving in a soft, fur-like way, but it's one of those adverbs that proves English grammar rules even when the result sounds silly.
