tomboyishly
Like a rough girl
In a manner characteristic of a tomboy—a girl who prefers activities, clothing, or behaviors traditionally associated with boys.
The word suggests energetic, rough-and-tumble conduct: She tomboyishly climbed the fence in her Sunday dress.
The term has become dated as gender expectations have loosened.
