| User | mr. | | Topic | New words | | Message | I’m feeling a word rut developing, so I’m going to post a random (literally flipping open dictionary and finding something interesting) word with definitions and hope others do the same. Nothings better than a new word, not shoes, toys, pubic hair, or lovers. Here’s the one which happened upon me:
Faff v. (faff about/around) Brit. informal
-bustle about without achieving much.
-origin dialect, "blow in gusts". |
