No, it's an old colloquial euphamism.
Hrrm, in the Northeast US, at least, common. Sometimes spelled doodie. Often used, by children in insults such as doodie-head. (Which reminds me of a rather funny scene in the old Fresh Prince show, where after being called snake, evil, and the like, Will is also called doodie head, which is what gets him angry. )
Anyway, yes, legitimate word, with various nuances.
Sigh, I don't believe I'm posting this, but oh well, I needed a three minute break.
Anyone wanna migrate an old drupal to a new one for me? :) (Kidding folks, just kidding--or perhaps trying to keep the thread on topic?)
