Poof is a slang term for a gay man that appeared in early–mid 20th-century British English. It likely derives from a comic or dismissive sound suggesting softness or fragility, and it emphasizes perceived effeminacy or nonconforming behavior. Historically, it was derogatory, used to mock, belittle, or insult gay men. Over time, some gay communities have reclaimed it playfully or ironically, but outside those contexts it remains offensive and is generally avoided in polite or neutral conversation.
