I think you're a newbie... in fact I *know* you're a newbie... and from reading
this thread you are FAR from alone.

"prolly" is net-speak tantamount to emoticons; sometimes a response to indicate
someone asked a silly question but much more often used when one is conveying a
point/opinion in cyber conversation that is meant in a light hearted/jocular
manner, is not to be taken seriously... *means the subject is moot, let's move
on*... is not something worth wasting keystrokes arguing, and certainly not a
difference of opinion that is worth the risk of trashing an otherwise valuable
cyber relationship... an example of terminology that evolved so that folks can
embue the feeling of a personal hand written letter to the typed business
letter format of computers.

Yes, you are definitely a NEWBIE.. no prolly about it... you probably use
correct anatomical terms in the bedroom too, not that it matters much since
there's only you.
