Today's BWOTD is one you will hear regularly back home:
"Basically she just faffed around all day long" 'Faff around/Faffed around/Faffing around' = daudle, waste time, stretch out getting things doneThis is a sentence I suspect the Hubster might apply to me!

That one is totally new to me. It really chuffs me that I hadn't heard it before.
Great word! My wife is a consummate faffer ;)
I faff around a lot.
I also get naffed off. Have you heard that one?
No that's one I've never heard. There's "naff" but never knew there was a term for my son's ailment.
I'm faffing!
I LIKE this word!
I'm planning on faffing the day away today.
Oh yes. I'm a professional faff.
Keep them coming! I love BWOTD ~ keeps me updated so that I don't forget all these lovely Brit expressions!
Hey there! Just checking from SITS!
Went to London last year---loved it!
So, I am into anything British---heh, heh
Anywho---I also come to Oklahoma several times a year with my Rod Stewart Tribute band---another Brit!
So, anywho---great blog!
My mother used the word daudle a lot (or was it dwadle)...anyway it meant the same thing....maybe I am a brit at heart :)))
What a terrific word! Can't wait to use it when I'm around Hubby.
This one is new to me. I like it. It's how faffing feels!
Suits me fine ...grin!!I am a big time faffer!
Oooh, I like nothing better than to faff about!
Love that word. I use it all the time. I faff about a lot, often tell myself to stop faffing about and get on with it!
