Brit/Aussie slang for a male homosexual, based on the permanant stretching of the anus that results from repeated anal sex, which causes farts to be emitted with a "pooft" sound rather than the usual, stacatto "bra-a-a-p".
I took my kids to the park, but it turned out to be Gay Pride Week, and we encountered a poofter parade.

Get the pooftersmug. Very much like The Pooter, the handheld device which realistically simulates the sound of a loud rasping fart, The Poofter offers up a more discreet sounding farting noise very much like a hiss or someone trying to slip out a fart unnoticed. It's used exclusively by prankster members of the male gay community. It's a veritable hit at soirées.
Julian is employing The Poofter again to great effect. He's also slipped one out without anyone hearing (due to getting roughly buttfucked that afternoon) so those around him can appreciate both the realistic sound of a gay man farting and the smell. The lesbians love it.

Get the The Pooftermug. Well it's just another word for a gay dude, the rest the rest of the world stole it from us Aussies, so I am here by taking it back.

Me: "Oh Jesus Christ andrew, your such a bloody poofter"
Andrew: "Oh be nice" * runs away crying with his shitzu behind him
