Awag

The puppies ran up to the girl, their tails all awag.

1887, John A. Martin, “Memories of the March” in Addresses, Topeka: Kansas Publishing House, 1888, The men are as silent as if they were dumb. Then something sets all their tongues awag, and the woods and fields echo with their shouts and laughter.

In the good suburb, in the bursting season, their canes awag in the yellow day, the newly maimed mince back to danger.

[…] the walk: undulant, the buttocks awag, the breasts thrust upward by some ingenuity of corsetage.
