Diridari
Diridari refers to any kind of currency in the Bavarian dialect (e.g. in the sense of the words coal, gravel, putty, change or moss ). Although diridari is often used to describe cash (coins, bills), it can also refer to a person's general solvency.
origin
According to the New Bavarian Dictionary by Franz Ringseis , 'Diridari' originated from Diradey (a mixture of wheat and barley). The amount of this grain mixture was a measure of a farmer's wealth.
In the eastern part of Austria, dialect (Loh-) Diridari ('Lochdiridari') for 'drill' has been passed down, which suggests a basic meaning 'whisked, mishmash'.
