Welcome to another Wacky Word Wednesday, where I get to feature a word that is weird, wonderful, or just downright wacky! Today I have a word that I use quite a bit. as not only do I like the sound of it, but it is something that I always seem to be doing!
Faffing. This is a dithering and dallying kind of word. Procrastinating and pondering instead of just getting on with it! Mucking around and all that malarky, putting off the important stuff, preferring to prat about with the piffling things.
It is fussing and fiddling, bumbling and fumbling about. Something that I seem to excel in!
Good morning from a fellow faffer! 😃

I am always curious about your words. What I love most about it is the explanation you give. Especially this time there are so many words in it you could use for a Wacky Wednesday 😀

I faff when I know I need to do something with someone else, and they aren’t ready, and I can’t start without them… So I end up faffing around with things I shouldn’t really be touching, then I end up creating more work for myself!!!

A great substitute word for what you might really want to say. Something like “get off of your faffing bum and take out the trash and stop faffing around”.

You certainly did not do any faffing with that word. You just hopped right on it with about a dozen other very picturesque words which I also don’t, or at least, seldom use. But I love them. You’re sharp this morning! Enjoyed it.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
