I make videos about art, pixel art, game dev and any creative projects I'm working on! A true creative divvy. What does 'Divvy' mean? A north-eastern English word originating from the mining community's use of different types of lamp whilst working 'doon the pit'. An early, dangerous lamp nicknamed the Scotch Davy ('Divvie') had a high propensity to explode, and was superseded by safer lamps such as the George Stephenson ('Geordie') lamp. So someone would be unwise to go down a mine with a Davy/Divvie lamp, hence the word coming to mean a daft or silly person. Non-offensive and can be affectionate. 'Ha, you're such a divvy' or 'He's a right div.' (Modern usage)
