waff

"You are very much afraid of a waff of wind blowing on your cousin's name," I would cry.

Waffle, wof′l, n. a kind of batter-cake, baked over the fire in an iron utensil of hinged halves called a Waff′le-ī′ron.

He was that prood he was walkin' sae far back on his heels that a waff o' win' wad hae couped him, and whustlin' 'Dark Lochnagar.'

In Cumberland this apparition is known by the peasantry as a ‘swarth,’ and in Yorkshire by the name of a ‘waff.’

But the natives just call it a Wiff-Waff—on account of the way it waves its tail, swimming, I imagine.
