Etymology: "Spaffed" is the past tense and past participle of "spaff," a verb that has been used in British English for a sudden, forceful spilling or gushing out of something, often a liquid. The verb is probably onomatopoeic, meaning its sound is meant to imitate the sudden splash or spurt it describes, though its exact early history is not firmly documented. The word's slang sense of spending money recklessly, as in "he spaffed a fortune on drinks," is a figurative extension of that same idea of something pouring out fast and without restraint. Its use as a crude term for ejaculation is a related but more vulgar branch of the same sense, which is why it is often treated as strong language in British speech.
