Riff

An "I dunno" type of attitude. The type of attitude where someone could set up an elaborate mechine, and have it blow up, whithout anything more than "oops."

Derrived from Riff, of the webcomic wordSluggy Freelance/word

He just blew up an entire hC biulding, and shrugged it off with, "Oops." That is SO Riff.

riff

West Midlands insult similar to chav. Origins are uncertain but it is thought to be an abbreviation of the phrase riff-raff, and localised use in Bromsgrove dates back as far as the late 1980s, if not earlier

Can be both a noun (riff), referring to the antisocial underclass, or an adjective (riffy), meaning something cheap, scummy or gully gully.

- "What a riff!"
- "He was the riffiest kid in school."
- "Those trainers are well riffy."
