    Cool, in a rugged wrong-side-of-the-tracks way. Comes from the S.E. Hinton novel [The Outsiders]. Oppose [preppie], and differs significantly from [tough].

            Tuff has the same meaning as tough. However the word is spelt out t-u-f-f to emphasise how tough (hard, rough, strong, badass) something is.
