wmw999 2,534 #1 June 8, 2009 Re-done to include wuffo Old votes: Whufo 2 Whuffo 12 Whafo 1 Wuffo 2 (write-ins) I got two emails on Friday with different spellings for non-skydivers. So I asked my husband how to spell it, and got yet another. And none of them matched how I'd spell the name. So, what better source of expertise than Bonfire And if you have another spelling, feel free to volunteer it, along with why it's better Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyjumpsteve 0 #4 June 8, 2009 Definitely "Whuffo"....they even have their own website: http://whuffo.net/ Urban Dictionary also agrees: [/url]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whuffo[url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #5 June 8, 2009 Never understood the standard spelling of "whuffo" since it's supposed to be a contraction/dialect of "what for." To me it seemed like it would make more sense to spell it "wha'fo'." However, the term and spell was in place well before I ever strapped on a rig so who am I to say?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #8 June 8, 2009 I agree with popular opinion - it's 'Whuffo'. But I've grown to hate the word, and try not to use it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,534 #10 June 8, 2009 Yeah, we did have someone suggest wuffeaux because we're close to Louisiana Wendy P.
