yiffest

Alternative spelling of yiffiest. How is that even possible? The final -y of yiffy can't just disappear, or can it? Mglovesfun (talk) 15:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I've never heard of "yiff" being used as an adjective. It's either a noun or an interjection in my experience. —CodeCat 18:09, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Or a verb in the Furry scene, I understand. —Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 20:42, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

It's almost certainly an error resulting from confusion between yiff as an attributive noun ("yiff drawings") and yiffy as an adjective. The two words are both distinct, but they certainly shouldn't merge with each other just by adding a suffix. I'd say that "yiffest" seems wrong to me but could have some use as a nonce word the same way you'd say "I got an orange smoothie" ----> "yeah, well I got an oranger one" (where orange is a noun but is reinterpreted as an adjective in the second sentence).
