Unstable 9 #4 August 17, 2003 I won't lie - until the WFFC this year i had NEVER heard the term whuffo used in normal conversation, just dz.com posts. Now it seems quite common. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably will look daft when the replies come flooding in!!! IIRC the term came from an incident related to a bad spot in the '70s. A parachutist landed out, and the farmer who picked him up asked if his airplane had been on fire. When told that the airplane was working just fine, the farmer inquired "then whuffo you jump?" Thus, the term whuffo refers to the clueless groundbound moreso than those who simply haven't jumped. Many who have not will tell you they "always wanted to," and sometimes it turns out to be the truth.
