SOUGHINGLY is a derogatory remark used to describe the way an extremely overweight person walks. He walks like a sow; he walks soughingly. |

SOUGH is the past participle of the verb to seek (seek-sought-sought), but it has lost his T.
Soughingly obviously describes the way a person hurries in a confused way because he/she is eager to have his afternoon Tea.
In some cases, it might be used about Elevens, but it �s more likely to be heard about the afternoon tea craving.
One of the most famous examples is of course Alice �s March Hare, and his everlasting obsession with being late for tea.
Example: Every day after work, he would soughingly hurry home.

soughingly She is so- ugh -ingly full of herself that I can �t take it any more. ugh - is what you say when you are so upset that words won �t come out. The ingly - turns it into an adverb. |
