Pronounced "Riff-idge".

Normally refers to a guitar scale/melody, but can be applied to more than just guitar.
Usually one riff, followed by another in rapid succession.

Said riffs must be awesome. If they are lame and put together, you cannot achieve riffage simply because riffage sounds badass, both in context and literally.

A series of awesome riffs put together to achieve maximum badassery for a song.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
