What Short retort by Princess Anne Popularised a London working class Slang Term? Now people associate it with the Upper Class

Uk members, give the overseas members First go Thanks

Nobody yet? My bet is that it is 'naff'. Princess Anne told some reporters to 'Naff off!'. If so we may bet that she had no idea of the origins of 'naff'. 'Naf off !' must be her own invention. 'Naff' now means in vulgar or poor taste aesthetically (the current predominant meaning) or useless. It is from Polari, a form of cant spoken by gay men in the days when homosexual behaviour was illegal in Britain and so homosexual men had to communicate in a language which outsiders would not understand.Naff is an acronym. It stands for Not Available For F (you can guess the rest of that ) and was used to denote someone who was straight or otherwise unavailable, so useless, in a sense, to a gay man .

My guess too!
Personally I never told anyone to Naf Off but I think I was mixing in the wrong social circles

I did use another Princess Anne phrase on occasion though...Not B@*@*@ Likely! ..as she did when someone tried to kidnap her!

Yes I can't imagine someone ever trying to kidnap princess Anne-unless that would be a fantasy on her part...o did i say that?

well someone wanted to kidnap her

I think he wanted the money..not her!

But whatever he was after, he didnt get it, and was eventually sent to a hospital for the criminally insane!

sounds like a smart man-get the money and the woman will follow-LOL
