Word nerd checking in...Webster's sez that WHIFF can be a noun or a verb. Generally, I hate verbing nouns, but in this case, the big book OK's it. "Whiff" as a noun means "a slight trace or indication." "Whiff" as a verb means "to carry or convey by or as if by a whiff." For those who are interested... Mary P.S. It also gives "smoke" as a meaning for the verb, which is what I think a few folks have been doing a bit too much of! > > > > >Ahhhh yes... spell check.
