The Indian English word 'chuddies' recognized as official English word by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). The word is one of the new 650 entries announced by the OED. The contribution to the English vocabulary was made by a show which was aired on BBC in the mid-1990s named 'Goodness Gracious Me'. The show received the gold award for comedy in 1997. The word means short trousers or shorts. It qualifies as a regional vocabulary because it is a mixture of English and Hindi which is an example of Queen's Hinglish.
