Here are some possibilities, depending on context:
* "Duffy" as a nickname: It might be a shortened version of a name like "Duffy" or "Dufford."
* "Duffy" meaning drunk or intoxicated: This is a less common usage and might be specific to certain regions.
* "Duffy" as a slang term for something useless or worthless: This meaning is also not very common and could be a regionalism.
To help me understand what you mean, could you please provide more context?
* Where did you hear the word "duffy" used?
