Used to designate friends.
Originally from New Orleans, comes from the word "ward" (as in
9th Ward). Someone who lives in one of the wards is a
wardy. Eventually becomes common slang, often used in southern Hip Hop, specifically the members of the now defunct Hot Boys (B.G. a.k.a. B Gizzle, Lil Wayne a.k.a
Weezy Wee and Juvenille a.k.a Juve the Great)
