This whole post was going to be how I am the Queen of wasting time. I am always "fluffing around". Doing a lot of nothing (with an ever growing list of things to do). No, no, not blogging ... this is so not time wasting!
I thought it would be good to Google "fluffing around". Google questioned what I was looking for? Can you believe it? It had supplied a stack of exerts that had used "fluffing around"exactly as I do; as a term for time-wasting. Yet, Google wanted to know whether I meant "faffing around"? No, I don't faff .... do I?
So I decided to look up the definitions of the two - Fluffing and Faffing.
Apparently I do faff around! So, how did faffing turn into fluffing? Well, in my opinion faffing is a ridiculous word that I don't even feel comfortable using in a sentence. I would much rather be fluffing .....or would I?
Check out the definitions below, (I have removed the extra descriptions in the original text, as I'm sure most people can figure this out without being too graphic) and think of them the next time you think you've been fluffing around.
I will definitely be faffing from now on.
The definition for faffing according to the Urban Dictionary is

Dom: What's the worst thing about sharing a tour bus with me?
Matt: All your faffing about. Your electric toothbrush and mouthwash just wind me up. For one, it reminds me how unclean I am.
