  • Etymology: Yiff was originally invented by LittleFox? as part of a range of onomatopoetic words that form the fox-ese language of the w:Furry, Furry role-playing community: , yip, yerf, yaff, yarf, growf, and growlf (in order from most positive connotations to most negative connotations). Yiff meant "yes" or an exuberant "hello!". Later, was assigned a meaning of a sexual proposition, a meaning that had previously been assigned to yipp (a coarse form of yip).Other claimed etymologies include:
    • onomatopoetic word for the sound of a fox mating. This etymology is unsubstantiated and appears to be apocryphal.
    • Sense 3 of YIFF. This is apparently a backronym.
