Divvy Homes, Once Valued at $2B, Is Sold for Half That Price

Divvy Homes, sold at $1 Billion, sounds like a lot of money.

where i come from in the north east of England, a "divvy" is a "stupid person", a "moron" etc.

In South Scotland I found it was almost always just “div” and proceeded by a pointed swear such as “fucking div”.

Divvy meant dividend! The thing the co-op used to give you for shopping there and old ladies used to obsess over. Come to think it, they were a right bunch of fucking divs.

Did they make something people want?
