Definition
Characterized by ineffectual activity or time-wasting; given to faffing about.
Etymology
Derived from 'faff' with the diminutive or descriptive suffix '-y.' Maintains British English colloquialism.
Kelly Says
British English loves turning verbs into '-y' adjectives to describe people or their behavior: 'faffy,' 'nippy,' 'dodgy'—it's a linguistic formula that lets you insult someone in a charmingly folksy way.
