| Summary: | gold-withy An expression that I've heard around the Islington area. It means that a woman is pregnant. Some people use it to mean any woman but most people use it when referring to an unwed girl. [reverse] It is a term used to poke fun at the person. It puts the young woman on the level of a sheep or cow because usually when animals eat gooweddy they become poisioned and their stomachs swell up.
