Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

@mbmlt99 it's not a super common way to describe someone, and some might take it as an insult, but it isn't particularly rare either.

@mbmlt99 one more note: it is never written as someone is "a mousy" unless you're literally saying they're a mouse in a childlike way. to describe someone as mousy it is always said like "she is mousy" and not "she is a mousy"
