                        EVERYONE MUST HERF      

The first time I heard the word `herf' and recognized it's potential for the
enrichment of my
vocabulary was in junior college in Clyde, Texas in 1982 from a blueblood
derelict friend of my
named Stu. In the context of the time it was used to describe the ungainly and
humorous facial
contortion required to deeply draw on a large, hand- rolled cigarette of
unknown filling while
driving a motor vehicle and keeping an eye peeled for the Callahan County
sheriff. Later I found
the term `herf' described nicely the method for getting a good mouthful of
tasty smoke from my
favorite cigars.(Padron and HDM Rothschilds)

Many thanks to S. delaVega for setting the historical record straight.  

Since he was the first to use 'herfing' in ASC, the earlier uses being
restricted to verbal utterances of a pair of foggy fugitives from the sheriff
and their studies, we have to accord him the honor of giving birth to
'herfing' in its current context.

All ASC will sing the praises of S. delaVega, Prince of Skeeves -- who taught
us to joyously herf!

As a logolept and consumateth, I will put my talents in "on" mode and soon
have the definitive etymologic of "herf..."
