knowledge is power – post 355

Today I learned what a “fluffer” is thanks to someone commenting that a fluffernutter sounds like something from 70’s porn.

So what is a fluffer? A fluffer is someone on the set of a porn and will help to keep the male actors aroused just before scenes that require erections. They’re not used much anymore thanks to boner pills and everything being shot digitally. They also helped with the clean up of the actors between takes so they wouldn’t have to move from their positions.

A fluffer is also the name given to someone that prepares a house for sale, a figure skating team that isn’t preforming in a major part of the programme, a staff officer that won’t let an issue go or someone that constantly exaggerates event in their life to make them sound more exciting.

All those are great but not nearly as awesome as the first definition I learned about.

So other then what you just read… what did you learn today that you didn’t know before.
