"durry" meaning in English

See durry in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Audio: EN-AU ck1 durry.ogg [Australia] Forms: durries [plural]
Etymology: Unknown. Possibly (putative obsolete brand of roll-your-own tobacco) + -y (“diminutive suffix”). David Bradley, Australian Journal of Linguistics (1989) suggests that it may be derived from a widely used brand of loose tobacco used for roll-your-owns, Bull Durham, clipped and resuffixed with the most productive suffix for forming new colloquial words in Australian English. Suggested that it was a term brought back from ANZAC forces as a Dhurrie Rug and a cigarette are both rolled.
