Niffie is an old Dutch street-slang word used to refer to a knife. It appeared mainly in older street culture and youth slang before modern slang terms became popular. The word is used in informal situations, often with a playful or slightly cautionary tone.
Etymology:
Derived from the English word knife. In street slang, knife shifted to nife → nif → niffie, with the “-ie” ending adding a typical Dutch informal sound.

Yo bro, why you walking around with a niffie on you?”. “Back in the day everyone said niffie, nobody really uses it anymore.”

Get the Niffie mug.A large puddle that, according to legend, forms in front of Newfield High School in Middle Country Central School District after a downpour. Unfortunately, distressed student tears do not count as downpours. (If they did, we'd have a lot more space to swim.)
