Australian informal slang for a potato farmer, combining 'spud' (potato) with 'cocky' — the Australian term for a small-scale farmer, derived from 'cockatoo farmer'. A spud cocky is someone who scratches a living from the earth growing potatoes, often in rural Victoria or South Australia. The phrase has a good-natured roughness typical of Australian rural vernacular — nobody says it with contempt, it's just the kind of cheerfully blunt descriptor the bush produces.
