Ghetto Word O' Da Moment

Your friend, particularly someone from the same area of the city as you. Origin is from New Orleans term "ward", how the city is divided.

It began as "wassup 7th waaaar-day", "wassup 9th war-daaaay" and the sound evolved to "whoadie". Eventually people dropped the ward number and started saying "wardy" and "whoadie."
"wassup whoadie, you got that new CD?"

I was never sure what "whoadie" meant when i first heard it in the Juvenile and Hot Boyz videos way back when. I just thought it was another ghetto inaudible gruntish sound from the wordsmith Juvenile. But alas, it has meaning and depth and we're all a little more cultured from this knowledge, even though it was used 8 years ago....WHOAD DEYYYYYYY!
