A mischievous or playful trick; a prank or antic.
To cut a dido, or more often didoes, is to get up to mischief or perform some foolish, attention-seeking stunt; the word is used for the trick itself rather than for the person doing it. It has nothing to do with the Dido of ancient legend, the queen of Carthage, even though the two words are spelled the same.
