Here are some possibilities:
* Shortened form of "they": This is the most common interpretation, especially in casual conversation.
* Regional dialect: In some dialects of English, "dey" might be used instead of "they."
* Specific slang: Depending on the region or group, "dey" might have a more specific meaning.
To understand the exact meaning, you'll need more context. For example:
* "Dey went to the store." Here, "dey" is most likely a shortened form of "they."
* "What dey doin'?" This sounds like a regional dialect, where "dey" is replacing "they."
Can you please provide me with more information about the context in which you heard "dey"? That will help me understand its meaning.
