Meaning of word Bully.
0 Hi there. I bought myself a t-shirt that has a print of Bulls ( one has a hat on his head) and below is written: "Where is Bully?" I've looked up the dictionaries but I coudn't find out the meanig of this word play. Is it something like : Where is the dumbest? . I suppose its something ironic but i still don't get it. 02 br

0 Hm. I've contact the manufacturer of this t-shirt and they say that they do not put embroideries on their clothes. As far as it goes to capitalized Bulls it's my writing mistake. We are talking exactly about four-legged male animals. But on the embroidery there only bull heads and on one of them is a red hat. Then comes the sentence : Where is bully? For me it sounds like: "Where is the dumbes

Hi,
It sounds to me like the tee shirt picture and English writing were created by someone who really does not have a good understanding of English language and culture. The result is a shirt that seems to have no real meaning.
