Hi,
I was walking home from university, and this guy drove past and yelled "#$%^&^ poof!"
Does this mean my hair growth is coming along well?
ANdy.

Sounds like you're in the UK or Australia? Am I right in thinking that the slang word 'poof' isn't generally used elsewhere?
Anyway it's definitely a good sign, not for the human race in general, but for your hair. Keep growing! Trying walking anywhere topless in summer with your hair down... that really rattles them.
Like your sense of humor! Glad that you are able to make light of a situation given your recent terrifying personal experience.

Ah, well, it was a week ago today and it's healing nicely. I'll keep enjoying the sun as much as I always have done :)
They are all just jealous!
Good Luck!
Nice straightness too!
Maybe not a poof, but cute, nonetheless. Hope that doesn't offend, but.... Gotta love a guy with gorgeous hair.
haha, that's looking on the bright side!
The use of the term 'poof' is linguistically interesting.
Yes, it seems to be mainly a UK usage, but also it is written 'poof' in Southern England, and 'puff' (same pronounciation, different spelling) in Northern England.
To get us back on topic, I have never had this shouted at me, but once a lad in a builder's van shouted 'You're having a laugh'. Well, I did find it quite funny, even if it wasn't what he meant!
At least plonkers the world over are consistently stupid. After all - gays usually prefer short hair...
;-)
i'm sorry if i sound ignorant but what exactly does "poof" mean?, i mean is it slang for something in another country?
just wondering because i know a lot of people who use slang constantly and i never heard that before
No worries. In the UK "poof" is short for "poofter". It's your basic English homosexual slur. Heh, not that I'm one or anything.. :-)
Cheers.

Reply; Well I've learned something new today. Never heard this in Canada or the northern US.
It means that he was scared enough not to stop and challenge you.
Don't worry about it, it's his problem, not yours!
