Question for the Brits on my flist...

This is driving me absolutely fucking apeshit.

Is the correct spelling 'poof' or 'pouf?' I've seen it spelled both ways, and I'd like to know which spelling is correct?

Thanks!

Dude, I've been wondering this myself lately. A Britpicking friend/beta told me aaaages ago that it was 'poof' because 'pouf' reminded her of a pastry. I've never forgotten that, but I've seen 'pouf' around so much lately that I was starting to think I'd remembered it wrong.

*checks out other replies* :)

Aren't you glad you have me to ask all the silly questions? *G* It's definitely 'poof' for future reference.
