Circle the word with a red pen and then put a big fat 'F' at the top and give it back.

A friend, from Oklahoma, uses it all the time. I must admit to having said, "Thank you muchly, kind sir" once or twice before.

It is a playful take off of "Thank-you kindly"

According to the Columbia Guide to Standard English:

muchly (adv.)

is at best a Casual or Informal adverb, used almost solely in mildly jocular efforts to spruce up a conventional "Thank you very much," as "Thank you muchly."

"is at best a Casual or Informal adverb"

Why do I hear that in Mr. Blackwell's voice?

Will it tick you off if I answered every question "Okey dokey artichokey"?

Our office manager at my last job used to say, "Okey Dokey" all the time throughout the day.

It was creepy.

I admit to having used muchly. Only in a social setting where the person knows that I'm using it in jest and I know it's not really word (like when I say edumacation). I would never EVER use it in a professional or corporate setting. It just makes you look like an idiot.

Well, I also scrunch up my face and say "WHO'S A PRETTY GIRL?" to Miss Holly, but I wouldn't say it to her on the street, where other dogs could hear.

"Our office manager at my last job used to say, "Okey Dokey" all the time throughout the day."

Oops-I like to say okey dokey on occasion. But with me it sometimes is meant to be sarcastic, sometimes extremely friendly and perky. It's funny with words, in'it?

Silly me thought it was just an Alanis Morissette quirk. Only time I've ever heard it was in one of her lyrics. I admit it doesn't bother me. I'd use it if there was an appropriate occassion.
