wobblybob50 Â Â 10 #6 Posted August 3, 2012 My Nan always used the word SHUNKLY to discribe something that glittered like sequines. Its a word that all of use in our family. She also used to say that if someone was dawdling or walking slowly they were TRERKLING along. A nice discriptive word but dont know if its a proper word.
