Talk:spiff

The term for a handrolled marijuana cigarette is spliff... not spiff. I suggest removing this meaning.

Verb sense 1: to spiff up (make tidier, etc.). Even the given usage example uses, not spiff alone. Equinox ◑ 13:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Added by [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=spiff&diff=prev&oldid=20088237 an anonymous user in 2013]. I've never heard this, and the usage example seems odd (Why would turf go though a window?), so I checked GBooks. Searches for "I/she/he spiffed a/the" return examples of the "make spiffy" sense or of something like "reward with a bonus". The anon called the sense "local vernacular", and seemed to be using an IP from University of Oxford. Is it regional and possibly age-related, or unverifiable?
