In literature, "guff" is employed with a notable versatility—sometimes designating spurious or excessive talk, and at other times serving as a character’s name or even a title. Authors use the term to dismiss or undermine elaborate jargon or chatter, as when a character is urged to cease spouting "guff" during a discussion [1] or when dubious statements are labeled as mere "guff" that obscure the truth [2]. At the same time, the word appears as an integral identifier in its own right, lending a distinctive flavor to personages such as Mrs. Guff, who is involved in social and professional interactions [3], and even Captain Guff, who figures in military settings [4]. This dual usage—both abstract and concrete—allows writers to capture the interplay between surface talk and the identities of their characters in a colloquial, often dismissive tone [5].
