friend, road dog, roadie, homeboy, homie. Specific to New Orleans and immediate environs, of uncertain origin. Possibly derived from the New Orleans customary greeting of "Whoa, now!" Others theorize that the term may be a corruption of "wardie", i. e. someone who comes from the same ward or neighborhood of New Orleans. Possibly spread to other regions of the country through rap music.
