bizarre question - "lime dickey"?

[housepig]

another strange question.

while playing Catchphrase (which I highly recommend) with some friends, the term "lime dickey" came up.

none of the 6 of us had ever heard the phrase, and so far Google and Wikipedia have turned up nothing.

anyone got any info for me?

This ought to get good.

There is a bird called a Dickey,maybe it is a lime green one.

sounds almost like cockney, but can't think what the real words would be....

Still trying to figure out what that is

Some sort of alcholic drink I think.

Treebeard -

found that same link, but if you notice, that picture is only referenced in the html code - it doesn't actually appear on the page.

I've looked in a couple of bartender's guides in the Housepig library, and no "lime dickey" yet...

... a mystery ....

The picture is there, if your screen is not set wide enough it will be pushed to the bottom of the page. I too went to some mixed drink websites and did not find lime dickey. I swear I have heard of it before but Im drawing a blank as to where or when.

Try "Virgin Margarita"!

Sound's like a Brittish term to me.

[Craig Tucker]

I've never heard of it.

Irish maybe?

Check 'lime rickey' , an alcoholic drink, and you will find lots of references. Maybe a typo or some modification of the original drink?
