A wally is a silly, foolish person — someone who does something stupid, forgets something obvious, or makes themselves look ridiculous. It is British slang, and the important thing about it is how gentle it is. Calling someone a wally is much softer than calling them an idiot or a fool.

A wallywally這個字 is a silly, foolish person指一個傻里傻氣、笨笨的人 — someone who does something stupid做了蠢事的人、forgets something obvious忘記明顯的事的人、or makes themselves look ridiculous或讓自己出糗的人。It is這 British slang是英式俚語，and而且 the important thing about it is重點是 how gentle it is它的語氣很溫和。Than calling them an idiot or a fool比起叫人家「白痴」或「笨蛋」，calling someone a wally叫人家wally is much softer要溫和多了。

Friends say it to each other, and people say it about themselves: "I felt a right wally standing there in the rain." It is about one silly moment, not about someone being stupid in general. It is often used with "right" or "proper" in front of it, which makes it stronger but no less friendly.

Friends say it to each other朋友之間會這樣互相說，and people say it about themselves也會用來說自己：'I felt a right wally standing there in the rain.'「我站在雨中，覺得自己像個十足的wally。」It is about one silly moment說的是某個糗的瞬間，not about someone being stupid in general不是說這個人整體上很笨。It is often used with 'right' or 'proper' in front of it前面常會加「right」或「proper」，which makes it stronger but no less friendly讓語氣更重但一樣友善。

Two things to know about how it sounds today. It is quite old-fashioned — it was very common in Britain in the 1970s and 80s, and younger people now use it much less, so it can sound like something your dad would say. And it is almost only British; Americans will not know it.

Two things to know about how it sounds today關於它現在聽起來的感覺，有兩件事要知道。It is quite old-fashioned它有點過時 — it was very common in Britain in the 1970s and 80s在1970、80年代的英國很常見，and younger people now use it much less而現在年輕人比較少用，so it can sound like something your dad would say所以聽起來可能像是你爸爸會說的話。And而且 it is almost only British它幾乎只有英國人在用；Americans will not know it美國人大多聽不懂。
