Ha, ha, my question got deleted because I didn't realized it was a one-way street. Only questions about American usage, nobody in Britain is allowed to answer any questions.
But before I got 86'd somebody did post that the word describes a hair style, like the little pompadour of the tenth Dr. Who.
Thank you! It must have to do with the combing-up effect.
That's not the guy I saw on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" though. This all started because I was trying to find out the name of the host of the episode in which John Barrowman appears. I think I must have meant to click on Simon Amstell.
It isn't as far as I know. I may be deficient in the vocabulary department, however. I think "quaff" is a word in use here, to do with hair, but not "quiff".
Hee hee. Aren't we naughty? Or maybe I'm naughtier because I always think the naughty possibility every time. Every time.
At book club, at school today, this boy was telling about a book he'd read, and he got all excited about this part where the boy in the book lost his balls, and I started snickering. Both the librarians had to glare at me. Then, we couldn't look at each other anymore because they wanted to laugh because of naughty me. :hangs head, but not very guiltily, just pretend-like:
I love your icon. Who is that and what is the context?
