In reply to:
As a mystery fan, one of my favorites is D.L. Sayers Gaudy Night which takes place at Oxford and features a gaudy; i.e., a celebration. I have long wondered how the word is pronounced. Does it indeed rhyme with bawdy or with howdy or neither? Surely we have a Brit expert to enlighten us.

Well, I would pronounce it to rhyme with bawdy, but not, pace TEd, body.
