Naff
Naff is primarily British slang, although it is also in common usage in Australia and other former British colonies. It has several meanings:Something which is seen to be particularly "cheesy" or "tacky" or in otherwise poor aesthetic taste. An example of a sentence in which it might be used is, "Did you see that American Chopper repeat on the TV last night? I've never seen such naff programme!". It seems particularly to be used in relation to interior décor, furniture, furnishings, clichéed popular artwork, clothing, accessories, and the like. ("That's a naff tie." "That 1970s wallpaper is really naff.")The word can also be used to describe something that is poorly thought out, doesn't really work, or is otherwise not very good. This usage is similar to that above, but focuses less on aesthetics and more on adequacy to the task. An example might be to say of a poor or irrelevant example offered in an argument that, "That's a really naff example." Another example might be to say, "That remote control has a really naff user interface." The word naff also has a strong sense of nothingness and many think it is making a comeback into modern day 21st century society.
