Like CapriUni, I thought "when I first saw the tite of this thread, I thought it stood for something like: "Natioanl Association of Folk Festivals," and that a discussion of the kinds of songs that get awarded prizes in contests."

Thanks for those definitions of "twee" and "naff"-I had never heard those words before.

I'm still not sure I "get it".

Would I be far off base to say that these words are gradations of "tacky" as in without any fashion sense???

There is an African American adjective "fly" one definition of which means "being up to date with the lastest [street] fashion. Maybe this is a modern form of being "hip" fashion wise..

Are "twee" and "naff" the opposite of these terms?
