Well...I do live near London. "Not my problem guv"
>Can you, therefore, please help this poor old Brit (who left the UK in
1964)

Naff = Tacky....er...oh 'spose you need that explained too.
<reaches for dictionary>
Naff = Unfashionable, rubbishy
We use the word naff when taking about such things as...
- Garden gnomes
- Fake RS Turbo bodykit on a 1.1L Ford Escort with original steel wheels
retained
- The entire range of "Kevin and Gary" type car go-faster accessories like
neon-aerials and bolt on 4" tailpipes.
- Christmas lights on your house
- Fake silver plastic christmas trees (optical fibre variety earns extra
naff'ness points)
- Yorkshire terriers (well, not them directly, but their owners will
undoubtably own lots of naff stuff)
As you can imagine "Naff Naff" clothing didn't sell too good over here!
