naffadj.

Brit.

/naf/, U.S.

/næf/

Forms: 1900s– naff, 1900s– naph (rare).

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown (see note below). Probably unrelated to slightly earlier naff v.Various theories have been proposed as to the origin of this word. It has been suggested that it is (in Polari slang: see Polari n.) < naff in naff omi a dreary man (compare omee n.), in which naff may perhaps be < Italian gnaffa despicable person (16th cent.). For evidence of early use in the context of other Polari terms compare the following early example (from the same writers as quot. 1966):1967 B. Took & M. Feldman Round the Horne (1975) 113 Sandy. He had an experience in Bognor didn't you Jule. Julian. Yes. Very naff it was. [Cf. p. 12: Camp Chat... Naph = Bad.] One of the most popular theories is the suggestion that the word is perhaps an acronym either < the initial letters of Normal As Fuck , or < the initial letters of Not Available For Fucking , but this seems to be a later rationalization. O.E.D. Suppl. (1976) compares the earlier English regional (northern) forms naffhead , naffin , naffy , all denoting a simpleton or idiot (see Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. Naff v.), and also niff-naff n., niffy-naffy adj., and nyaff n., nyaff v.

British colloquial.
