Ruffling Around 

Witnessing how all things get twisted while you do nothing to avoid it at all.
That single Ruff just looked like ruffling around while the board went down.

Ruffling in the sheets 

When your very tired from partying the night before with a friend who is an avid runner and has more energy than a uranium fuel rod and he calls you because you missed your 0600 showtime for a 5 mile run.
Phone rings “ring ring ring, dude in bed answers- Hello? Caller says in a dubious voice- “Hey what you doing man? Dude in bed responds, “Duuude, I’m ruffling in the sheets man”. Ruffling in the sheets? WTH does that mean? I’m half way between being ready and going back to bed which is better than being in bed and not being ready!

riffing the chill 

Those skin tight suits on 'Hole in the Wall' are totally riffing the chill.

Yo, that song is riffing the chill, hard.
