Definitions
To celebrate a victory in a boisterous manner.
Word origin
Back-formation from Mafeking, humorously treated as if it were a present participle (mafficking), from the celebrations in London after the relief of Mafeking during the Boer War.
Used in a sentence
““[…] but if to be foreign is to be mad, I think I’d rather be English.” “There!” cried Miss Haymer. “That’s typical! Pure jingoism, Connie! You can’t maffick under my roof! […]””
“It was a clandestine “maffick,” but was all the more exuberant because we had the satisfaction of knowing that we had outwitted the authorities completely, they being in utter ignorance of our celebration.”
“This, needless to say, ended the maffick and put a damper on the rest of the VE Day celebrations.”
