New term in the political lexicon: fluffer
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 11:17 AM by pse517
fluffer: Noun. 1) A person employed during the making of a porn movie, to keep the male lead sexually aroused and ready for action in-between film scenes or shots. 2)A sycophantic Republican political event attendee whose function is to boost a particular candidate's confidence and create the appearance of enthusiastic popular support: Don't worry, Mr. Rove. Nothing but fluffers in the crowd tonight.

3. There's a third definition
"To expel flatus (intestinal gas), especially audibly."

Also, the hardest of the hard-core neo-Con Republicans are known as FlufferNutters.

6. Seriously
I'm no prude but thinking of Dumbya or Dickhead in a sexual sense really and truly turns my stomach.
