Poofing?

I see a lot of talk about being "poofed". I'm fairly new here, but:

This is a gun forum. And we're "poofing"? C'mon. Get a little more vigorous. "Poofing" souds like something that would be done in an upscale salon catering to debutantes and blue-haired society matrons. Obliterate 'em. Nuke 'em. Waste 'em. I'd much rather admit that my thread was Nagasaki-ed than have to own up to being "poofed".

    You don't want to get poofed more than a few times... little own repeatedly several times in a very short while..

    ....flyer...In the way you describe it, it does sound a bit light in the loafers. Think of it more in the context of magic. "POOF", you're gone!

    poofing...the act of getting your fingers slapped via the internet[8D]
    the number of poofs you get... the different colored stars and the number of stars you get[;)] Status symbol's ya know[8D]

    I think i might hold the record for number of poofs in less then 5 mins one night think it was 4 in 5 or so minutes[8D] though Dcon,DWS or The law might have that beat[:D]
