A foalish question

When an author here uses the term foalish, how do you mentally translate it? Childish, or foolish?

I'd say it could go both ways. Honestly though, foalish? I know they change words into pony related ones (gesundhoof, wtf) but really?
Both terms have some similarities to each other, so I would say I'd use the term with both words in reference.

Depends on the context. Neither is automatically right in all use cases.

Personally I think it's a dumb term that doesn't need to exist at all, but usually foolish.

[bahatumay]

Foolish. I blame Nightmare Moon.

Foolish, usually with an emphasis upon naivete rather than stupidity.

[The Letter J]

Either one, depending on the context.

I'm with 2250486. It's context-dependent.

[Themaskedferret]

I'm siding with the context group here

[ShiningNova]

Personally I read it more like childish than foolish but i really depends on the context.

[theNDinspector]

I see it more as "childish" to be honest.

[ponygrad]

childish

[roryokane]

I always interpret it as meaning both foolish and childish. Naïvely foolish.
