WAFF³

Where it comes from

Acronym of warm and fuzzy feeling(s). Reportedly coined by fans of the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997). First attested on alt.tv.lois-n-clark as part of a fandom glossary in January 1996.

noun WAFFs

  1. countable, dated, slang A warm and fuzzy feeling, especially in relation to a ship. Why wait until the series is close to an end to change their relationship, leaving fans with a feeling of having been cheated of great WAFFs (Warm And Fuzzy Feelings)?
  2. dated, slang, uncountable Such feelings collectively. It's a pity that this term isn't used on atxc, as I'd describe this as a lovely slice of Moose & Squirrel WAFF (stands for warm-and-fuzzy-feelings).
