fluff
When referring to physical fibers, this word is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun. It evokes a sense of lightness and insignificance, often associated with domestic cleanliness or the tactile softness of fabric.
In a figurative sense, the term carries a negative or dismissive connotation. Describing content as fluff suggests it is intentionally hollow or designed to distract from a lack of real substance. In the context of performance, it describes a momentary lapse in concentration, often used in theater or broadcasting to describe a verbal slip-up.
Meanings
Soft, light, downy fibers or particles of material, such as wool, cotton, or dust, that collect on surfaces or clothing.
Content that is superficial, trivial, or lacks intellectual depth and substance.
To make something soft, airy, or voluminous by shaking or patting it.
