I've read, or at least used, "bidar" in the relevant sense.  I guess
it would have to spelled bi-dar to get the sense right.
Unfortunately it's hard to google, because of the eponymous town and
district in Karnataka, India that keeps getting in the way.  (When I
first tried Nexising "gaydar" during our earlier thread on the topic,
back in '95, I kept running into annoying references to the
Soviet/Russian minister of finance of the same name.)
