faffing about

Wasting time, doing nothing in particular. Also, can mean finding idle tasks to do while wasting time.

Comparable to dilly-dallying.

I'm just faffing about until lunch time.

_or_

- What are you doing there, working?
- Nah, I'm just faffing about.

Fafense 

Portuguese slang for mf that lives in FAFE(aka. Terra dos Sonhos), the wonderfull one housed city situated in PORTUGAL. You can call Fafense to solve any physics test but beware the price you pay for the help is you dating him. Fafense is also know for his bike-falling skills or downhill as he calls it(if you did not get it he wins prizes for falling down his bike and screwing his face up) . He is also known for stealing because, ya'know he is from Fafe the land where internet is free and there's only one house.

PS: Este burro de merda comprou o Winrar fodase gajo.

"Foda-se Fafense";
"Este fafense só sabe cair da mota";
"Damn the way you fell from your bike was so sick, you´re such a Fafense";
"You stole that bike??Who else but Fafense am I right bois?"
