Don't Be Jelly

Yesterday I learned a new word when a friend texted that her daughter was "jelly." I had no idea what she meant!
 
Do you?
 
If not, here's a hint: One could also spell it j-e-a-l-y.
 
Once she told me, it made sense.
 
Apparently the shorter term has been around for a few years, so I must have been living under the proverbial rock.
 
It's not really a shortcut, though. Spelling-wise it is quicker, but it's the same number of syllables to pronounce.
 
Anyway, my friend suggested I learn one new word a week from her 13-year-old daughter. Sounds like a great idea to me!
 
Jealous? ;-)
