Pi-did-dil-ly is how we as teens pronounced it. Just what is it?
Well I’ll tell you … it’s the word used to describe a vehicle with one working headlight. In other words … one headlight is burned out.
I’m not sure who made the word up and made a game of sorts out of it … but I have fond memories of walking with friends and someone shouting the word “pididdilly” when a car passed us with only one light shining. The game was in the counting of how many pididdillies each person saw. I think we even declared a winner of the day but I’m not certain if there was a prize. The rules are vague but the memory of feeling happy and carefree playing the game isn’t.
After a period of time dating my husband I turned the game into something different. Every pididdilly seen resulted in a congratulatory quick kiss. In my 16 year old mind it was a win-win situation. Right!!
Until the next time.
Never ever heard this word before ! Never too old to learn! Like your cute game ! Lol!
Love it!
