Does anyone else use "Fluff" as a coloquialism for the background lore of a game?
'Cos urbandictionary and wiktionary don't have it- I'm wonding if it's Australia exclusive.
I know I've used it and see it used multiple times.

Texan here, we use Fluff pretty often for the "padding" of a game/story.  Or at least our town anyway.

Fluff is used widely when talking about Warhammer/Warhammer 40k. That's where I've heard/used the term many many times. I'm Canadian by the way.

Maple syrup is pretty much the opposite of lubricant. :P

It's pretty common, especially as fanspeak in regards to pen and paper RPGs I'm positive it's common Anglosphere-wide.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

It's powered entirely by politeness.

And yeah, after a bit of more specific googling I found it on Wikipedia.
Thanks all, for helping me through my crisis of vocabulary.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Hamsters couldn't handle the cold up here. I do ride a moose in to work. And I bathe in maple syrup at night to keep me warm, it surrounds me like a cocoon.
On the serious stereotype side, I do tend to apologize too much (sorry for apologizing too much by the way), and I think I'm a rather nice person. Also, I love maple syrup, and poutine, I use "eh" a lot in casual conversation, eh? I've met a Mounty on horseback, seen many beavers/beaver dams. Hmm. Anything I miss? Oh, I've watched and quite enjoyed a lumberjack competition (watching a man hurl a full sized axe and hit a target is quite impressive).

That not only sounds dangerous as all hell, but an impressive feat of strength and dexterity.

... When's it coming to the Olympics?  (Also that doesn't sound grammatically correct but I don't know how to fix it without nuking the entire sentence)

Poutine is like someone took all of the "greasy" out of the cornucopia and gave it to Canada.

This is not an insult.

Poutine is divine
