Morphology
so + dutty
The pattern 'so' (an intensifier) + adjective is fully compositional, so if a learner knows the word 'dutty' = 'dirty' they will readily infer 'so dutty' means 'very dirty'. Although 'dutty' is dialectal/colloquial (e.g., Caribbean English) and may not appear in standard dictionaries, the intensifier+adjective construction is cross-linguistically common and thus transparent to learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
So dutty comes from Caribbean English, where dutty is how people say 'dirty' and so makes it stronger. The picture to remember is something very covered in dirt, so so dutty means 'very dirty'.
