locky d

This is a colloquial shortening of lockdown which may just possibly make us feel better about the whole situation.  We can add it to the collection of such jokey ways of referring to the things that dismay us, such as the rona and iso.  We inherited this joke from the UK where the expression could also be used as a verb as in we need to locky d the city, guys. Over the last month, with most of the east coast in lockdown, we seem to have played around with locky d a great deal more.  That’s understandable.
