Main Entry: 1biddy Pronunciation: 'bi-dE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural biddies Etymology: perhaps imitative Date: 1601 : HEN 1a; also : a young chicken Meriam-Webster I knew in the context of hen, as in "she's no spring chicken anymore." Seems like biddy has come to mean something other than "young" or all Vickys would flattered at being referred to by the term rather than vaguely insulted by it (Vickys, by their nature, are vague).
