Foddy Doddy, heard on BBC Worldservice, ''I don't want to sound like an old foddy doddy now...''

I look up the correct spelling and the meaning later, I think it means old fashioned

[Kooj]

Fuddy Duddy, meaning "like an old bastard"

So it was actually incorrect to say ''I don't want to sound like an old Fuddy Duddy...''

Can women say this about themselves too ?

[Kooj]

ok a more correct definition is "I dont want to sound like an older person who is not upto date with modern convention" bastard was me being a little piss takey,

"old" is part of the expression generally my mistake

[Cabbie]

''prozzies'' (not sure if spelling is correct) heard it on the first episode of season 3 of ''Doc Martin''. It means prostitute

[RaMarcus]

Not sure I've ever seen that written down but yes, it means hooker or lady of the night
