puffs
Light airy pastries
Puffs are short bursts of air, breath, or smoke: She took a few puffs on the cigarette.
The word extends to anything light and airy—a cream puff, a powder puff, a puff pastry.
A puff piece is promotional writing disguised as journalism.
To puff is to breathe heavily or emit short bursts: He puffed up the stairs.
To puff up is to swell or inflate, literally or with pride.
