Word of the day - Fuddy Duddy

Fuddy-duddy is a fun English word for someone old-fashioned or cautious. It describes people who avoid new trends but are pleasant to be with. The word comes from Scottish duddy meaning ragged, and fuddy added for rhyme. Use it for friends or family who love slow, safe, traditional ways of living, like checkers or old clothes.
