FAFF
Way back when men were men & women were still princess warriors, nothing was done or taken lightly. Even an old English word as soft & feathery as FAFF was bandied about like a spiked hammer. The elderly of antiquity FAFFED their pillows nightly, tearing them asunder. These days they “fluff” them. If the wait was long, ancient moviegoers FAFFED the line into oblivion & went inside in time for previews. Now we just wait our turn, plodding along like dumb snails w/our mouths agape at the thought of butter w/a side of popcorn. No more! FAFF is back in a big way: masturbation. Leave it to internet culture to revive FAFF in a slightly modified form - FAP, to move violently (in this case, your genitals). But we cannot stop there. FAFF your body to the music! FAFF the police! FAFF whenever, whatever needs FAFFING… but do it soon, kids, before 2012 FAFFS our world out of existence.
