(slang, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk) Lunch.
Docky is regional British slang, particularly East Anglian, for a lunch break or packed lunch taken at work. Not concerning, just regional vocabulary. 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. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Docky is East Anglian (Norfolk, Suffolk) regional English informal noun for a packed lunch or lunch break taken at work, especially in agricultural settings. Use in East Anglian contexts. Formal equivalents: "packed lunch," "lunch break." Common non-native mistake: applying outside East Anglia where it is unknown. The word is highly regional. 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.

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.
