Faff is the only constant thing. and I have moved from one faffy profession to the next. Not that these professions don't have anything to them. Faff is after all grounded in some facts. At least some. What is faff, some of you may ask? (given my recently expanded readership). Well:
Faff is the ability to talk obliquely and verbosely about a particular topic or point of contention so as to make the reader/ listener believe that the the writer/ speaker has thought about the above-mentioned topic or point of contention for a considerable amount of time and has formed coherent views on the matter; when in reality, the writer/ speaker is merely improvising by employing large words and considerable rhetoric to state her or his case.
In fact that is faff. Another example: "The current project will act in a timely fashion to increase our bottomline through top-line growth achieved by vertical intergration employed in a strategic manner". I will soon be issuing statements like this.
Faff is an awesome word.

Just don't say 'stragic' :P Document correction is what I've been doing, so haah!
Aiyyo I thought I checked. Cha. Boo to you.
The biggest education that shall come from IIMA is the ability to distinguish faff from non faff. Also the ability to read tonnes of faff and then understand what is actually implied, alongwith an understanding as to when faff works and when it does not .
you talkin about "essentially"?
@Nilesh: This post is dedicated to the ID course.
@Manu: 'Essentially' can put to shame most people I know :)
