The ending must sound like the French 'e acute' in order to render an authentic Leicester accent. It is particularly suitable used in conjunction with the word 'bleeder'.

You mardy bleeder! Pass the cob!

Several examples have already been provided but 2 points might be of further interest:
1. The Nottingham writer D.H.Lawrence uses the word in his novels of the 1920's
2. Reputed to have originated from the French word 'merde' meaning 'shit'. So, to be 'mardy' would mean to be behaving in a 'shitty' manner.

I grew up in 1950's Leicester where it was in common use.

'She's gone all mardy'.

He's being mardy because he can't get his own way.'

Mardy

When somebody doesn't offer you a marshmallow, when they have a huge bag on their desk.

Lorna: Is James been mardy today?

Kelly: Not sure, why do you think that?
Lorna: Cos he's had that huge bag on his desk, and not offered me one all day.
