I understood the word 'naff' stemmed from a slang known as Polari used by the gay community earlier this century and stood for Not Available For F***ing. As in "You don't want him, he's naff."
A good article though. Didn't realise Chortle came from Jabberwocky. A few friends of mine recently started using 'LOL' as a joke, but who would have thought it would become used as a word in general? Go figure. How long before Dubya uses it in a speech?
