You got something  against  words  that  are  actually  found  in  the
dictionary  or something?  Try looking it up sometime, hothead!  It is
a real word, and is typically used at the end of a phrase, thusly.  So
there!!  Both 'thus' and 'thusly' are adverbs, and synonomous.

(I was kidding about 'hothead', but who wants to be a coldhead?)

Warm regards,
Galen.
