waldek.usa Re: What does 'DUFFY ' mean? 16.07.03, 20:09 There are spelling variations due to pronunciation and fact, that the origin goes back to Old English. "duffer" - "daffier", different spelling, not pronunciation, you're right, I prefer "daffier". Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

You "prefer" daffier? You are wrong on all counts. To put the etymology aside for a while (you are most likely wrong on this one, too; it's probably Middle or Modern English), where did you see "daffy" spelled "duffy"? Any serious source? "Daffier" doesn't mean "duffer". You don't pronounce "duffer" and "daffier" the same way. Like a real daffy duffer, you are digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Now, "duff" has unknown origin and can be a slang, as well as "duffer"- an incompetent person, among others. "Daffy" comes from Middle English "daffe" - foolish, silly. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
