My e-mail addy is being spammed. I should've kept it private.
Addy is informal for address, often referring to a home address or sometimes the drug Adderall. "Send me your addy" usually means a postal address. If used as Adderall, worth a conversation about prescription drug misuse. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Addy is informal English slang with two main senses: (1) short for "address" (postal or email), and (2) short for Adderall (a prescription ADHD medication, sometimes misused). Use only in casual contexts. Formal equivalent: depends on sense. Common non-native mistake: missing the drug-related sense. Always check context. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
