"Buff" question for native English speakers
This thread will go on forever I think :D:D:D You can't call it a bandana - because that is a clearly defined product, typically square in shape that can be tied around the head, used as a hankerchief etc. A buff is not like this. Someone ordering a bandana and getting a buff would be well...- nickpellatt

"Buff" question for native English speakers

August packing list - preparing for the Camino
