Recommended Posts

On five live said that in 1963 Norwich tried to thaw out Carrow Rd with military flame throwers; only led to game being called off due to floofing.

Floofing is rather a good word, actually. What could be its definition: The act of throwing food around at a banquet or buffet?

The worst thing I can remember about the winter of ''63 was freezing my backside to a wooden bog seat in the boys toilets at junior school. I still have the scars all these years later!

[quote user="Pablo Picarsole"]Floofing is rather a good word, actually. What could be its definition:[/quote]Floofing comes from the ancient Knorfci (a small island just off Salthouse) and it means "centre" (between floor and roofing). If you take a stroll through Knorfci town floofing, locals will tell you that the Doc and Askou are our floofing backs and Grant Holt is our floofing forward. The word has been much abused over recent years where you get fans shouting "hit the floofing thing" or at least, that''s what it sounds like! Hope that helps. [+o(]
