When a person suddenly & without warning switches from the recovery phase of their psychosis (when there are few of any symptoms present) to the active phase (hallucinations, delusions, paranoia & erratic/odd behavior). Often doing a duffy or done a duffy is referring to someone finding out about their friend or associate's mental disorder for the first time after witnessing the sudden appearance of full blown psychosis.
Can you pick me up downtown? Amanda's done a duffy & stolen my car so she can save Burt Reynolds from little aliens or something!
Hey man, don't worry about Shane. He's done a Duffy before. He doesn't get violent or anything.
