English term or phrase: chiddies and chuddies
Hello!

I would need to understand this expression. The caster of a TV program says that to address the viewers. Is that like "boys and girls"?

girls and boys; chiddies = children + kiddies
Explanation:
Since chiddies is a portmanteau of children and kiddies, I would say that they are using this as an expression for girls and boys, or ladies and gentlemen. Chuddies are underpants for boys or men. I'm not sure of the connection between chiddies and chuddies. Perhaps they just chose it as something that sounded good. I'm not posting the definition for chiddies from the Urban Dictionary because I don't believe it applies and it may offend.

retarded; persons easily fooled and full of nonsense


Explanation:
It seems to be used as boys and girls, but has a connotation of lying to it. Could be that a chaddy is someone gullible or talks nonsense/bullshit. So I would say that chiddies and chaddies are persons easily fooled and full of nonsense.

1. chaddy
a person who bullshits a lot and thinks there right but everyone knoes its a bullshit
hes chattin chaddy again
bullshit lie chattin chaddy dale

2. chaddy
Someone who lives in the town of Chadderton, Manchester.
I don't want to do something = sack it you Chaddy

If the theory is not reasonably faulty, then why use 20+ years defunct proof? Get more evidence in the books and quitt lying to the chiddies and chuddies
