In informal British English, a divvy is a silly, slow, or person — more daft than nasty. You might say “you divvy” or “I felt like a right divvy” when you have done something obviously foolish, like walking into the wrong room. It is spoken, a bit old-fashioned or regional (you hear it in the UK more than in the US), and usually mild, almost teasing. It is not a school-book word. Though actually, the same spelling is used for a different everyday meaning, to divvy something up (to share it out). That “share” use is not this sense.
傻瓜、呆子（英式口語，語氣多半像在損朋友，不是髒話）
組成The same spelling is a clipping of dividend + -y, which clearly explains the other use, “to divvy up” (share out). This “silly person” meaning is British informal; people are not sure it comes from that same place, so treat it as a separate use.
