telly

Television.

Not much on telly tonight, as usual!

You're from telly!

A television set.

We've got a new flat-screen telly.

Telegraph.

Telephone.

Teleport.

A hotel or motel.

I'm staying at the telly this weekend.

Inclined to telling (by explicitly stating facts), instead of showing (by conveying an impression so that events are described in the narrative).

I think my problem with it is that it's a) a little "telly" not "showy" in comparison to the rest […]

There's a way to make this more showy and less telly. It's like you're in a hurry to get on with the rest of the story.
