Vocabulary Builder: Lesson One

AH! New favorite word!

Faffing: (1) Time wasting; syn: fucking. Faffing.

Usage: “You need a solid bloke with sartorial flair and the constitution of a bull elephant, not some faffing censorious idiot with a penchant for Steven Segal movies. Steven Segal only works solo,” said Mr. King, looking louche as he swirled a Campari and soda. [New York Observer, Aug. 21, 2006]
