Acuma vad contextul iar"silly" e eufemistic; poti sa fi destept si uneori sa fi" silly"; de unde si termenul dragastos" you silly girl"
giggling, goofing" intareste ideea ca nu faceau decat sa rada si sa palavrageasca nu neaparat ca sunt proaste.
"Glumologia" este inventat ("gluma") daca continuam sa fim "silly" si in romana.

Exact Cristina. Asta e cuvantul "hlizit'; trebuie sa fim atenti la Cine vorbeste. Nu cred ca se cred proaste/cretine. They just had a ball in school ! Multumesc.

Multumesc Cornelia. Am vrut sa fiu "silly " in romana; nici in engleza "we majored in silly" nu este uzitat.
