Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Floofing is a wicked word. Pablo''s definition is an interesting suggestion. Perhaps we all ought to use it to get it entered into the OED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tubbs & Edward 0 Posted January 8, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 180 Posted January 8, 2010 Maybe Walsall can use ''floofing'' as a reason for their next postponement! [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted January 8, 2010 [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.
