Urban Dictionary wrote:Chaddy
A Chaddy is someone who is a beautiful person inside out. They have an amazing personality and 10/10 looks. It can be used before someone's name "Chaddy Maddy" or to describe someone, "she's a Chaddy". Chaddy's can be hard to find but are definitely worth it!

7"It will retail at $150 (€142)..." from Spara's Irish Times link and $4,899. on Chaddy's link. That a huge price difference.

9Sounds like a Marx Brothers routine:
Chico: We charge $10/hour to play.
Groucho: How much do you charge not to play?
Chico: $12/hour.
Chico: But we gotta rehoise
Groucho: How much do you charge to rehearse?
Chico: $15/hour
Groucho: and how much not to rehearse?
Chico: You couldn't afford it!
Chico: We charge $10/hour to play.

10Alright you guyz, lay off Mr. Chaddy. I happen to know that chaddi’s are shorts in India, and “Chaddi” is a slang term for Right Wing Fundamentalists who wear khaki shorts as their uniform when they walk down the streets in formation to terrorize local villagers (Indian equivalent of Brown Shirts).
It’s not easy for a kid to grow up in the streets of Delhi, influenced by Right Wing rhetoric, to make it to The States and transform himself into a hipster startup mogul in Austin. You have to give him some credit for chasing his Slum-dog Millionaire dreams, eh?
