is there an expression "sholly" in the UK? a name? help!

i dont think so
i dunno
i dont think so.....
never heard of it

Not in the London area, I'm afraid.

There are many different words and sayings which are unique to specific areas of the UK, so someone who lives in another part of the country may be able to help.

Possibly "surely" spoken with a regional accent?

It sounds a bit Scouse to me. Not a word I recognise from Yorkshire or the NE anyway.

Those ginger psychos from over the border have some strange words for things. Maybe a Scot can help us?

Well I'm a Scouser and I can assure you that I have not heard it.
It sounds as if it would be more Leeds/Bradford or other Yorkshire to me.

It might help if we knew where and when you heard it, eg was it on a TV programme, did your hear a person say it, what were the words before and after, what were they talking about, etc etc. In short, the context. Without that you won't get an answer I fear, other than that it is not a normally used UK English word.

The word "surely", said by a bad actor playing a drunk, might sound like "sholly" I suppose.

i've been talking to this girl online and don't know her name! but her IM name is shollyxxxx. xxxx being her last name. so i was thinking maybe sholly was her name or maybe it meant something....

This may be a completely ridiculous and absurd suggestion but...
Have you considered asking her ?

of course! it's just that we've been speaking for so long, that i feel kind of stupid. thought i could somehow figure it out, but it really doesn't matter.

Sholly? excuse me?

no. theres no sholly here

Sholly could be a nickname, no?
