Actually, in UK slang, that refers to someone who's being stupid. And still, everyone knows what it means in the US, I believe.

Edit: Sorry about the ambiguity. I wan't referring to "ped". But rather to the slang that's offensive to women.

Upon reflection, I wonder where that British term comes from. Maybe it basically means "woman". Reflecting the slur that women are stupid. So it's still sexist, albeit not as vulgar as the US term.

Derived from pedant I believe.

noun a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.

Sorry, I was ambiguous. I meant the other slang.
