One is an adjective,meaning "clichéd, unstylish" (first recorded in 1969),that may be derived from dialectal wordssuch asnaffhead, "simpleton,” or niffy-naffy, "stupid.” The othernaff is a verb, usually used in the imperative in combination withoff (first recorded in 1959). This is the delicate injunction that members of the royal family such as Princess Anne have used in requesting members of the press to beat it.The origin ofnaff is unknown, but it has been suggested thatnaff may be related to an older English slang term naf, meaning "the female sexual organ.” Naf has been derived from a backward spelling offan, from fanny. 在看待如何使用语言的模式和美语遵从于英语那个更好的两个传统上，让我们看两个拼写为naff 的美语单词。 一个是形容词，表示“过时的，老调的”（首次记录于1969年），可能源于方言单词，如naffhead “傻子”或 niffy-naffy “愚蠢的”。 另一个naff 是动词， 通常用于命令语气与off 连用（首次记录于1959年）。 这是王室家族成员如安娜公主在要求报刊成员禁用时所使用的微妙禁令。Naff 不知源自何处， 但它表明naff 有与旧英语俚语 naf 相关的迹象表示“女性生殖器官”。 Naf 源于从fanny 而来的逆序拼写形式 fan 〔probation〕A discharge for a person from commitment as an insane person on condition of continued sanity and of being recommitted upon the reappearance of insanity.察看，观察：解除某人作为精神病人的约束，条件是持续保持精神正常，有精神失常的迹象再次出现则重新受到约束〔object〕"We should, therefore, protest openly everything . . . that smacks of discrimination or slander" (Mary McLeod Bethune).“因此，我们应该公开抗议带有歧视或诽谤迹象的任何事物” （玛丽·麦克雷德·贝休恩）。〔glint〕A faint or fleeting indication; a trace.模糊的暗示：模糊的或一闪即逝的暗示；迹象〔incestuous〕Of, involving, or suggestive of incest.乱伦的：乱伦的、与乱伦有关的或有乱伦迹象的 |
