Definitions by WordyGertie

Noun. (MOO-fi-duh) The unmistakable swampy, mildewy odor created when someone leaves wet laundry sitting in the washing machine for way too long, dries it anyway, and confidently wears it in public.

A muffida is sneaky—it often lies dormant until body heat reactivates it. Within minutes of putting on the shirt, the musty wearer transforms into a walking humid basement.

Symptoms:

Smells like a forgotten towel in a gym bag.
Gets stronger the warmer the person gets.
Can clear an elevator faster than a fart.
"I thought something died in here, but it was just George's muffida kicking in."
"Once he got divorced, Kevin constantly smelled like muffida."
