Talk:spiff
The term for a handrolled marijuana cigarette is spliff... not spiff. I suggest removing this meaning.

Rfv-sense: To throw; to heave.
Added by an anonymous user in 2013. I've never heard this, and the usage example seems odd (Why would turf go though a window?), so I checked GBooks. Searches for "I/she/he spiffed a/the" return examples of the "make spiffy" sense or of something like "reward with a bonus". The anon called the sense "local vernacular", and seemed to be using an IP from University of Oxford. Is it regional and possibly age-related, or unverifiable? Cnilep (talk) 01:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
