woodenly

woodenly


I think this means stiff or awkwardly?


"He said woodenly, "If I was alone I could live so easy."

  1. "IT is truly providential that a new horror melodrama called "The Blob" is so woodenly presented on the whole, For a little astute showmanship applied to such a plot would have been enough to scare the quills off a porcupine"

  2. It could also mean clumsy or without spirit. For example, "a wooden performance" or "a wooden smile"
