Meaning and background
The story behind Woolly
Woolly is the standard British spelling of an adjective meaning made of wool or resembling wool in texture. It can also describe thinking that is vague or unclear, although that figurative meaning is separate from the image of a soft coat. In Britain 'a woolly' can be an informal word for a jumper. Used as a dog's name, the word may suggest a texture without proving that the actual animal has a particular type of fur.
