Dekko – A ‘Look’, i.e. “Come and take a ‘dekko’ at this”
Dicky – Unsound, if you were about to walk on a wooden suspension bridge and it looked a bit ‘unsafe’ you could describe it as looking a bit ‘dicky’. Also, if you had a tummy problem and felt a bit sick, you could describe your self as having a ‘dicky’ tummy (rhymes with sicky’)!
Diddle – To ‘swindle’, but not in a massive way, for instance: check your change when paying for a purchase – make sure the cashier hasn’t ‘diddled’ you.
Dim – Not, in the sense of a ‘low light bulb’. More a person who isn’t very intelligent. (I, was extremely, ‘dim’ at maths at school) [this, is one thing I did, agree with my teacher on]!!!
Dishy – A good looking man or woman, can be called ‘dishy looking’.
Divvy – Very, similar to ‘daft’, but mainly used in South/East/North London (the ‘West End’ is a bit ‘posher’ and have their ‘own’ dialect, to which, I am not accustomed . . . . )lol!
D.I.Y. – Do It Yourself. Luckily, I have landed myself with a husband who can (and will) undertake all sorts of household and other tasks, without the need of a professional person (with the exception of electrical work)!
Dollop –: A (for instance) dollop of mashed potatoes, un-ceremonially served onto someone’s plate.
