An offshoot of baseball played in parks on basketball or tennis courts, or in big gymnasiums. It’s a game for kids who cannot afford to play proper sports that require some type of fee to join. It’s played either by running the bases or automatics. It gets its name from combining wiffle and tennis since the ball of choice is usually a tennis ball. It’s unlike stickball where a smooth gas ball and an actual stick are used. It can be played a multiple of ways. It can be fast-pitch against a wall with a box that is the strikezone, and usually one on one or two on two. In this scenario, it is usually automatics. The bat is a standard wiffle ball bat with the knob cut off and newspaper is stuffed into it to give it some weight. Then, electrical tape is wrapped around the barrel of the bat, and sometimes a tape knob is made. Ground rules are dictated by setting. See definition of automatics. When you can fill a whole team on a court, you run the bases, and it’s usually bounce pitch, so as to avoid chasing balls when there is no wall behind you. Since the pitch comes in as a meatball, you cannot hit them out of the park, that’s usually an automatic 3 outs. You need to swing with control. Hitting the fence on a line drive is usually a homerun. Number of players varies, as do the rules depending on the number of players.
Kid 1: Hey, are we playing wiffis down at Buchmuller Park?
Kid 2: bases or automatics?
Kid 1: it’s just the two of us numb-nuts, automatics of course!
Shit / weak / lame - can be used as general insult

When someone makes an appointment that is in there best interest and fails to show up.
I don't understand why Bob went out of his way to get me to meet with him, then pulled a wiffy.
Sally wanted this job so bad, I set up an appointment with my boss and then she pulled a wiffy.
I posted my sofa for free on craigslist I got a call and they begged me to hold it for them and pick it up in 20 minutes, but they pulled a wiffy.

A win stiffy. The euphoric feeling you get after a large success that makes you feel like anything is possible.
Nick: Jesus tits, I just aced all my finals! I think I'm gonna go find a cure for cancer!
Tyler: Looks like somebody has a bit of a wiffy.

A well known and loved pairing in Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, largerly used in fanfiction writings & discussions.
The pairing itself includes two of the main characters of the show - namely Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg.
Whedon sure was a generous man - he gave us plenty of canonic Wiffy scenes & emotions!
