A black person who acts white. This term was coined during the age of speakeasies and juke-jives. Often the dictie is mulatto and upperclass.

Just saw a silent movie made in 1927 by a black movie company for a black audience. One character was a high-toned composer/pianist. Another character, a con artist, referred to the pianist as "dicty" in a disparaging way. So the word's been around for a while. "Leave that dicty man and come with me. With your beauty and my brains, we'll be rich."

Tastefully elegant,intelligent,a sense of humor,refined but also street-wise and able to mingle with different "social classes". A classy lady.
Audrey Hepburn's character Holly, in Breakfast at Tiffany's is an example of a modern-day Dicty dame.

Urban Dictionary but make it camp
I don’t know what ‘camp’ means unless I look it up on urban dicty.

A shortened form of the word dictionary.
UD is by far the most interesting dicty on the web, it's evolving at a pace unknown to man!
Gotta go fire up the ol' dicty and bust out a def!
