Maybe it will come to me. Not to be confused with naff-off, a somewhat more polite (?) version of f*** off. In English english I would rate them f*** off, sod-off, naff-off in degrees of offence. Do you now Martin Parr's photographs of the "English" - especially the Living Room stuff? A lot of that shows things that are naff.
