Gaff Off

To blatantly ignore orders from a superior. Most often used by U.S. Marines (typically NCO's and SNCO's) to describe what younger Marines are doing when should be working. First used by a crusty old devil dog in the early 1900's by the name of Clifton Bledsoe Gates. Gates would later become the 19th Commandant of the Marine Corps.

Gayfabe

From "kayfabe" (a term used in Professional Wrestling and carnivals, meaning a "work") an act of feigning gayness, so as to manipulate or contrive social situations. Commonly, a straight man pretending at being gay so as to curry the favour of real gay men, or to better position himself in romantic interests involving women who are known to rebuke the advances of heterosexual men.
Look, Robbie, if I'm nice enough to bring you to my dealer's house, the least you could do is play along with my Gayfabe. He'll stop discounting if he finds out he can't lay me!

Oh, Julia? She's a bitter 3rd-year feminist studies major trying at being dyke. But, she'll take a dick if you gayfabe it just so for a couple weeks at first.

gafia

Acronym standing for Getting Away From It All, used in science fiction fandom and coined in 1940 by Dick Wilson. When it was first coined, it meant a fan who was getting away from mundane persuits to engage in fan activities, but in a very short period it flip-flopped in meaning and was thereafter used to mean leaving fan activities behind to pursue real-world endeavors. See also: "gafiate".

Gafargle

The act of involving yourself in; or creating a terrible situation for yourself and those around you resulting in the complete and total destruction of the mood and/or general vibe.

Similar to a buzz kill, a gafargle may often times result in a cock block, a bad mood, an early ending to a party, less friends and more haters.

Made popular by the band Trap House Rave at a party during a game of Quelf, a popular board game similar to the drinking game KINGS. The word was coined only moments before actually coming into play in a real life situation (See Example). Since then the word has taken on a life of it's own and has even been used by several celebrities and musicians.
When that girl made up all of those lies about that guy to his girlfriend, she caused quite a gafargle for everyone at the party, therein ruining the evening for everyone.
