debuff 

A term used in gaming, most likely stemming from MMORPG lingo, where shortening terms becomes essential for text communication. A debuff can be used in two similar respects. It replaces the drawn-out phrase "negative status ailment", where an attack or spell causes some ill effect on it's target, i.e. poisoning, silence, bleed. Debuff can also be used referring to an attack or spell that removes positive status effects. Many traditional RPGs have adopted this term as well.

The noob stood no chance against the terrifying onslaught of poison and slow debuffs, and was soon witnessed yelling "wee wee wee," all the way home.

Dewuffing 

The act of simultaneously docking, fluffing, and webbing. In all practicality, quite hard to accomplish, due to the nature of the various tasks. Requires tact and skill, earning those that succeed at the act the lofty title of "dewuffers".

Bro, last night got so wild. I thought I was going to bang some fine chicks, but I ended up dewuffing with some creepy old french guy named Gaston. Clearly, I was homoblivious.
