Squeak 17 #1 October 7, 2002 ok people this is going to read like a dumb question, but I'm new to the forum and sport so remember "there's no such thing as stupid questions only stupid people" I understand a whufoo to be a "non-skydivier" am I correct? Also is it anacronym, how did it come about??You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

Slappie 9 #3 October 7, 2002 Whuffo: A person or persons who stand on the ground staring into the sky with a dumbfounded amazed look on their faces. Pointing to the heavens exclaiming "Whuffo they jump from that perfectly good aeroplane?"

Zennie 0 #6 October 7, 2002 I wouldn't classify any non-skydiver as a Whuffo. I'd classify a Whuffo as anyone who sort of dismisses someone else's hobby as "crazy" or "Why would you want to do that?". There are many non-skydivers who still think it's cool, they just personally wouldn't do it. I wouldn't call them Whuffos. In fact, I've seen BASE jumpers refer to non-BASE jumping skydivers as "Whuffos". Whuffo-ism is more an attitude than anything. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
