Heff, v.i & t. Excoriate, lambast, propose as an object of public contempt, e.g., 'X gave Y a thorough heffing' and 'Z was utterly heffed'.
Heffer: n, one who heffs.
Example of heffing:
Today Mr Brown will unveil his party's election slogan. Its "themes" for the campaign include "Ensuring the recovery", "Protecting front line services", "Standing up for the many" and "Protecting future jobs and new industries". I fear that he will not embrace a much-needed spirit of truthfulness and go for "Finishing off Britain", "Lying for Labour", "Soaking the many" and "Protecting my job". Judging by the rubbish that he now routinely spouts – whether lies or delusion I do not know – he should be forced to produce a certificate proving his sound state of mental health before being allowed to stand for election: as should anyone who intends to vote for him.
