Squirrelly or squirely Explanation: Is it squirrelly (as in squirrel= écureuil) or squirely (as in squire). I have a tendancy to think that it's "squirrelly" because the subject is "girls". Squirrelly means restless, unpredictable, nervous= "remuant, agité, nerveux". I think "squirely" is spelled with one "l" and not two. Just a guess. |
