This reads all wrong on this side of the Atlantic: I'm thinking that "poof" (short for "poofter") doesn't have the same slang meaning over there!
Poof is a word associated with magic. Poofter is a word known to me, but not used by Americans.
Totally off topic, but:
I was on a backpacking forum once, and somebody asked if anybody knew where to get "fanny pack suspenders". That one got quite a few giggles from the Aussies and Brits as they tried to envision the possible function of such a dastardly device...
(In case you didn't know this, a fanny pack is a small, zippered purse-sized pouch attached to a belt around the waist, with the pack carried in the back. "Fanny pack suspenders" are basically a clip-on shoulder harness to support the belt). ;-)
