Biff

A hugely politically incorrect term for someone who's not very good at something.

A contraction of the words spina bifida, which is a disease affecting about 1 in 1,000 children and leads to loss or bladder and bowel control, paralysis, hydrocephalus and a general air of being crap at stuff.

Hence the all-purpose term biff.

Examples of usage:

• "you're such a fcuking biff, you are" (my Drill Instructor back in 1982)

• "Flowers, the wiki biff" (StabTiffy2B, 2006)

Note the use of a prefix such as "wiki" to suggest Flowers is only a biff when it comes to editing the ARRSEpedia.

The opposite of biff is ninja

See Biff Chit for proof of bifficity.
