Etymology: "Spaff" is a British slang word meaning to squander money recklessly, and its origins are obscure. The most that can be said with confidence is that it is probably onomatopoeic, meaning it may have been formed to imitate a sound, perhaps the sound of something gushing or splattering out in a rush, which would fit the image of money pouring away. The verb has a sister sense in British slang, where to spaff can also mean to ejaculate or to vomit, both suggesting a sudden, messy outpouring. This shared sense of something spilling out quickly and uncontrollably is a plausible thread linking the financial meaning to the more physical ones, though the exact connection is not documented.
