'bpad-Di-But' ... Commonly Heard ... What Does It Mean?

to do, to carry out, to execute, to follow

Correct. It is more akin to giving out orders or directing an operation eg: as in the army or similar.

'bpaddibut dtaam' refers (loosely) to 'practice Dhamma'...six years of being a monk here (thirty five in Thailand) and whenever asked why I ordained, it's my stock reply, and always gets a smile and a nod of the head...

ps...it's actually pronounced more like 'bpattibaht'...'dtaam' referring to Dhamma...
