vanishedone commented on the word doolies
I tried to find out whether dooly or doolie is the usual singular, and failed to find anything about this imp at all. (It doesn't help that both have other meanings, and that Google is convinced I can't spell and the folklore I'm really interested in is of corn dollies.) What are doolies, and should we be afraid...?
