Oh those wacky Brits and their quaint little words

      Naff is when something is crap or actually terrible - usually in a quality sense - like cheap and nasty. It can also mean uncool, as the children say nowadays.

      I don't think spoff means anything unless you mean 'spaff' which means when someone cums, as in '...he got the gush and fucking spaffed all over the place. Curtains, carpet, face.'

      And guff has a few meanings. Guff can be another word for nonsense - '...they were talking pure guff...' as in they have no clue about the subject. Another meaning, which I only really heard and used when I was a kid growing up in Scotland, is when someone farts '...jesus fuck man, who guffed? It's like something crawled up their arse and died'.

        That's three for three :party-parrot:

        Huh, I guess spaff is the more common spelling. I've heard spoff too though

          Yeah, I can believe that - like a lot of these things it will vary from region to region. The West coast of Scotland is a goldmine for slang and chat that never travels anywhere else.

        I've always thought of naff as being about something being tacky as opposed to just poor quality
