naff

Lacking any style

Naff is British slang for unfashionable, tacky, or lacking style: That wallpaper is really naff.

It can also mean generally worthless or lame: What a naff idea.

The phrase naff off serves as a mild expletive telling someone to go away—a euphemism for fuck off that gained attention when Princess Anne reportedly used it with photographers.
