Widgy

Widgy
a bodgy's girlfriend; (in the 1950s and 60s) a young woman belonging to an anti-social subculture (known as "bodgies and widgies") that rejected the morality and general world-view of the time. Widgies were especially noted for wild behaviour, free sexuality, and dressing in tight, revealing skirts and sweaters, and having short, duck-tailed haircuts. (Aust. (1950) and NZ (1955); origin unknown; probably, blend of 'women' and 'bodgie'.)
