yiff

1) (noun) Sound supposedly made by mating arctic foxes.
2) (acronym) (or more backronym) YIFF or Y. I. F. F. - "Young Incredibly Fuckable Furry"
3) (proper name) YIFF sound server. Program for Linux to help handle audio.
4) (noun) More or less (usually more) sexual act. Commonly used by furries, usually denotes standard intercourse but may denote any kind of sexual behaviour between any type and number of parties (imaginary anthro creatures, humans, animals, even inanimate objects like plushies). Antonym: Yerf.
5) (verb) Like in meaning 4, "to yiff".
6) Furry (or otherwise) artwork depicting yiff as in meaning 4.
7) Expression of joy (by furries)
8) Non-invasive question about sexual feelings/will to mate.

Note in all sexual meanings this has a very specific emotional background: It's neither considered vulgar (like "fuck" or technical (like "have intercourse") or emotion-less (like "make love"). It's playful, considering the act like something fun, nice, pleasant and not very important - without any special obligations attached to it. "Let's yiff" has about the same emotional background as "Let's play".

yiff

a yell and a sniff combined; a yiff.

it was created by stephanie from GTlive during a let's play of the game dayshift at freddy's, when she claimed that a yiff was a yell and a sniff at the same time, even though she did not know what it actually meant at the time. other definitions under this word will most likely explain the original definition.

"don't yiff the fox"
"yiffing the fox is prohibited"

"the fox was yiffed"

yiff

Drawn porn featuring furry characters. Extremely repulsive and disturbing to some, exciting and alluring to others. Animalistic traits refined by evolution serve to compliment conventional human sexiness (expressed in body shapes, facial expressions, situational context and etc.) resulting in wild variety of lustful self-expression. All genders, sexualities, fetishes and species are present, once you're hooked you'll have a lot to choose from.
Being attracted to yiff typically doesn't mean being a zoophile since most of such art features humanlike bodies and stylized muzzles expressing human emotions. That said, there's also such thing as feral yiff.
Lots of people make money drawing yiff comissions but there are also a lot of artists creating such art just for the sake of it. Measuring the sheer volume of yiff content produced daily is currently impossible.

Alex: my yiff fantasy is that my jackal fursona is caught between a female fox and a male wolf. She's foxily slender and has nice hips & tits, he's much more muscular than me and also larger. We're kissing and touching each other, then she lies on her back and I start entering her just as the wolf guy penetrates me while growling in my ear... shit, that's awesome, why can't I draw? Guess I'll commission it.

Some people think yiff signifies our species' growing interest in transhumanism.

yiff

1. A happy affirmation in an imaginary fox language, invented by the writer of the Fuzzball MUCK server. The definition was confused with the definition for another word in the same imaginary language, 'yipp', and an administrator of another MUCK heavily promoted 'yiff' word in its first known sexual connotation in 1995 or later. It was only after this point that supposed origins concerning mating sounds and acronyms were invented.

2. Meant to imply feelings of sexual arousal or intent to arouse; also refers to a sexual act. Considered crass language in polite circles.

1. "Yiff!" (Happy affirmation in imaginary foxish language.)
2. "Yiff!" (I am feeling aroused.)
