Flidge

/flɪdʒ/ verb

Definition

British dialect term meaning to fidget, move restlessly, or squirm.

Etymology

From dialectal or regional English, possibly related to fidget or fudge, with uncertain Germanic origins; primarily found in British regional speech rather than standard English.

Kelly Says

Flidge is a glorious British regionalism that means to fidget—it's the kind of disappearing dialect word that shows how every community develops its own vocabulary for everyday discomfort and nervous energy.
