strapageil describes what distinguished trudeau’s update on tuesday from the rest…<\/p>\n

mostly<\/em>, these are pretty<\/em> serious, given<\/em> the situation \u2014 but on tuesday things got weird<\/em> for one brief<\/em>, awkward<\/em> moment. while talking about the use of protective face masks, trudeau uttered<\/em> the word “moistly<\/em>” and then immediately regretted<\/em> it.<\/h4>\n

mostly<\/em><\/strong> means the majority of<\/em>.don’t confuse it with moistly<\/em> 😃<\/p>\n

pretty<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, like quite<\/em> or rather<\/em>, can vary in intensity from more or less<\/em> to very <\/em>depending on the situation and the tone of the speaker. it’s probably closer to very<\/em> in this example. given<\/em><\/strong> means considering<\/em>. brief<\/a><\/em><\/strong> means short<\/em>. awkward<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is uncomfortable<\/em>. utter<\/a><\/em><\/strong> means say<\/em>. moistly<\/em><\/strong> is NOT a commonly used adverb. the adjective moist<\/em><\/strong> means a little wet<\/em>. get weird<\/em><\/strong>, like many other adjectives used with <\/a>get<\/a><\/em>, refers to a change<\/em>; in this case from serious to awkward\u00a0<\/em>after trudeau said\u00a0moistly<\/em>. regret<\/a><\/em><\/strong> means trudeau didn’t want to say moistly<\/em>, and felt stupid<\/em> for using the word.<\/p>\n
