What does "chuddy" mean in British slang?
The structure is a simple noun of uncertain origin, possibly a playful alteration of "chewy" or from a brand name. It is used in British English, particularly in Scotland and Northern England, to mean chewing gum. People typically say "Got any chuddy?" or "He stuck his chuddy under the table." The term originated in 20th century Scottish and Northern English slang, and remains common in those regions, though less known in Southern England.
