What does "baff" mean in Nigerian slang?
In Nigerian slang, "baff" (usually used in the plural form) refers to stylish, fashionable, or high-quality clothes, especially outfits worn to look impressive or well-dressed. It is used in informal Nigerian English and youth slang, particularly in social settings, parties, and fashion-related conversations where appearance is being praised or discussed. The term became common in urban Nigerian slang through playful alteration of English "wears" or "apparel," though its exact origin is uncertain and is mainly rooted in spoken youth culture rather than formal linguistic derivation.
Examples
He showed up in new baffs for the party.
