Call Me Boofy

Today’s Oxford English Dictionary Word of the Day is “boofy.” It’s Australian slang, apparently.

Usually of a man or boy: large or muscular, and somewhat unsophisticated or simple-minded. Also: typically or stereotypically male in behaviour or interests; ‘blokeish’.

Though I’m not particularly muscular, I am large. And unsophisticated. And somewhat simple-minded. As for the other male in the office—CK—he’s partial to all manner of sporting events and unnecessary feats of athletic prowess, which makes him “stereotypically male in behaviour or interests.”

So…we’re both boofy? Maybe the Aussies should stick to meat pies.
