How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the _____ tail.

Is the dogs tail waggedy or waggely?

Z3ni · 1st Aug 2009, 04:07 AM

I don't get it...

Swamp56 · 1st Aug 2009, 04:23 AM

Waggely

Tiny Catastrophe · 1st Aug 2009, 07:37 AM

what?

**Maddy** · 1st Aug 2009, 07:40 AM

I always heard it as "waggely".

According to Wikipedia:

Quote:

In the movie Breakfast on Pluto (film) the lyrics are discussed implying some controversy between the use of the word "waggitty" or "waggley" between the characters. In spite of their fictional conclusion that it is "Waggitty", The correct answer is "Waggelly" [3], "waggitty" likely being a UK or Irish idiom where the film takes place.

Waggledy...

mattypants · 1st Aug 2009, 07:48 AM

i voted waggely
but around here...we'd be inclined to say "waggy" so >_>

Mickey · 1st Aug 2009, 08:30 AM

UGH! Now I got the damn song in my head! ( I think it's waggely!)

DexterMorgan · 1st Aug 2009, 09:52 AM

Are you asking this because you saw Breakfast On Pluto? Haha :P

**Lexington** · 1st Aug 2009, 10:19 AM

Let's ask Patti Page, who took the song to #1 back in 1953.

+ YouTube Video

Sounds like "waggelly" to me. Although I've never understood that line. Don't pretty much ALL dogs have "waggelly" tails? It's like saying "How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the fur?"

I think this is missing the point. Is it really likely that only one dog in the window is wagging its tail? And couldn't you just say "the one whose tail is wagging"? Actually, wouldn't it be more consistent to name the breed? Of course you could just approach the window and point to it...

Waggedy.

xballetxbeautyx · 1st Aug 2009, 11:21 AM

Waggley? I think?

**Lexington** · 1st Aug 2009, 11:25 AM

>>>Is it really likely that only one dog in the window is wagging its tail? And couldn't you just say "the one whose tail is wagging"? Actually, wouldn't it be more consistent to name the breed? Of course you could just approach the window and point to it...

In the video, she does in fact indicate the dog (if not exactly point to it). And take note of the fact that this dog's tail isn't wagging in the slightest at the start of the video.

Waggedy.

If so, then what is a "waggedy" tail?

**Lexington** · 1st Aug 2009, 11:41 AM

It's "raggedy", as pronounced by Elmer Fudd. As in "That wascally wabbit has a waggedy tail. Huh huh huh huh huh..."

I can quite truthfully say "lol", because that made me laugh out loud.
