muff

Fail to catch

A muff is a warm tube of fur or fabric in which to place one's hands: She carried a fur muff in winter.

To muff is to handle clumsily or bungle: He muffed the catch.

She muffed her lines.

In vulgar slang, muff means the female genitals, particularly with pubic hair—perhaps from resemblance to a fur muff: muff diving (performing oral sex on a woman).
