"In UK English, it’s a “blouse.”

I've been doing "codeword" puzzles (similar to crosswords) from a series of books printed by the London Times. Every few puzzles I'll encounter a word I've never heard of, and they aren't even in my Merriam-Webster (American English) dictionary. One such word was "faff," which I looked up on the Internet, and which means "to waste time."

LOL, that's what most FReepers are doing lately, faffing.
I'll have to remember that - thanks.
