doodly

Like idle scribbles

Doodly describes something characterized by doodles or having a casual, sketchy quality: a doodly drawing style, doodly margins filled with little faces.

The word suggests informal, playful mark-making rather than polished artwork.

Sometimes used as a mild, meaningless intensifier in phrases like diddly-doodly or doodly-squat, variants of diddly-squat meaning nothing at all.
