The question has been raised.
An answer will be lowered.
Deirdo (dîr-doe) n : mental adroitness, Nimble with the hands or body; dexterous, wick-quittedness
Deirdo has roots in 15th century old english savant vernacular. Déir'-doe was originally used to describe someone of clever wit; and/or having practical ingenuity and skill.
Sir Michael IX made popular this linguistic morsel in a speech delivered to parliament 1637.
"Deirdo are those, lawmakers of old.
From hence the morrow, they urge us bold.
They saw thou next,
what shalt not come.
By the mighty sword,
and the battle drum.
Tis' to my family, I owe my wife,
Tis' to my country, I owe my life."
The broken syntax and casual enunciation of modern conversational English has led to its current colloquial pronunciation as shown above.
Speakish: Of, relating to, or being...... speak.
Peace punch captain Crunch. Later.
