Andy
What Does "Andy" Mean?
Andy does not really function as broad slang on its own. Most people read it first as a person’s name, and only sometimes as a casual placeholder for "some guy."
Because it is such a normal name, using Andy as a supposed slang term does not travel well. People usually assume you mean an actual person, not a coded meaning.
That makes the social read pretty weak. If it works at all, it is usually as private shorthand, not shared public slang.

The Social Read
If you use a common name like Andy as if everybody should hear a second meaning, you are asking the audience to do too much guesswork.
That is why it reads more like private code or filler than living slang. The name meaning wins every time.
