One who renders himself conspicuous by affectation of dress, manners, and speech. The word was first familiarised in London in 1881, and is a revival of the old word dudes (clothes). We have several derivations, as dudder, one who sells dress-pieces; duddery, a rag-shop; duddle, to wrap up warmly (Halliwell), etc. It is not of American origin. The term is also unisex.

A person who politely smiles and feigns amusement, while someone in their presence re-enacts a comedy sequence so poorly that others nearby are embarrassed.
John's longwinded retelling of the usually hilarious apoopalypse skit made me a comedy-captive for four painful minutes.
