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'.

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.

A Mardi is a usually tall, somewhat voluptuous woman, her eyes are very intense and change according to mood. Although, not much else will show on her face accept for her commitment to her purpose in life. Mardi's are cute and fun loving and have amazing smiles. Beware the one that you've rubbed the wrong way. They are loyal and true friends..but do not mistake their kindness for weakness.
Me: "Isn't that new girl, amazing?"
Friend: "Yeah, she's alright."
Me: "Man, she's a total Mardi, I think it could work!
