brolly
This (plural: brollies) was used by a "cousin 'cross the pond"; contextually, I take it to mean some kind of fold-up awning or shelter. I'd like to know how good a guesser I am and, of course, from whence it came to be in the English language.

Re: brolly
A brolly is a parasol for wet precipitation.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
