Under this second meaning I thought it might be clever to say "whiff" to someone attacking a nfh's news post. The whiff implying there is something much deeper going on in the news post.
That might make your last post a whiff under the original sense?
Did you call Basedow?

Not since I first called.
And a response to a NFH post cannot be any type of whiff as the post is a mere repost of someone else's entertainment news reporting and there is no original content (ie thought and intention) going on in there. I assumed you used v.3 of Whiff- the mockwhiff.
And I believe I can control word usage.
