Most commonly used as a random quote, and occasionally used to tell an annoying person to get lost.

"Somebody get this freaking duck away from me! This guy won't leave me alone!"

HFFA (Hot From Far Away)

When you see a girl from far away and think that she is hot, but then the closer she comes to you, the uglier she gets. This can be very horrifying for people.

Mark: Yo Alex, look at that hot chick all the way down the road.
Alex: Daaaamn, she's banging and she's coming toward us

Mark: Oh shit, she's not that hot after all.
Alex: Dude, she's not a she....That's a guy...That's Thadius
Mark: I guess she (I mean he) was only HFFA (Hot From Far Away)
