Marie..re your word MARD the other day,here someone wanted to know the
meaning.
The Oxford Dictionary describes "mardy" as English regional( Midlands and
Northern) and gives " spoilt child" as its primary meaning suggesting that
the word comes from " marred" meaning spoilt.
The earliest citation they give of mardy is from 1874,
Well who'd have thought eh.
