Yeah, I know what the term havily means. I've just never heard it used in such a manner. What, did she have a refrigerator strapped to her back?
That's basically the reason the word is used: to suggest a fall in a heavy manner.
It's not controversial.

I didn't say it was controversial. I said I'd never heard it used that way before. Is that British?
So, she did have something heavy strapped to her back?

D-did I say it was British?
(and so on).
No, it's English. As in, the language.
She didn't have something heavy strapped to her back.
Here's what I inferred from the use of 'heavily': it was as if she did!

Again, I get that. And when I asked if it was British, I was referring to the use of the word in that context. See, I don't live there, so I am less familiar with some of your terminology and what it means to a British member reading it. Since you are British and telling me it's English, as in the language, I asked the question. And the something heavy strapped to her back part was a joke.

I don't think it's just British thing. I've seen writers from a variety use that choice of words. I've even met people around here who have used that phrase.

I got that. I replied in kind.
I just realised who you are, when the subtitle and quote rang a bell.
Seems like everyone is changing their name.
