Prompted by another thread:
There's a Sugar Minott track called Stand Tuddy. Great track too.
But what does this 'tuddy' mean?
Anyone?

Thanks MadAmigo. But that doesn't make sense? It would translate to "Stand Arse". What can the DJ mean by that?
This, I think, is one for the Jamaican born members to explain!

Norfolk Patois? Is that similar to the Lincolnshire Drawl?

Just a guess: it could be a corruption of 'steady', as in "stand steady natty dready".
Or maybe not!

Personnally, I also always thought it meant "steady".
