Examples of fluff in a Sentence

1. Scott C. Holstad:

   Orange fluff ball, Rocky is an 18-pound marvel of love, so fluffy, he looks like he’s 26 pounds. He scares the local dogs just by sitting and staring at them. Rocky’s there for me when I get home, purrs when he wants to, leads me to the food bowl when he needs to, licks me in an attempt to heal my wounds, loves cellophane, red ribbons, left over chicken. Rocky, my best friend, is my orange fluff ball, and I wish I could share him with the world.

2. Joanna Hewitt:

   It has to be deeds, not words, what it’s easy to do is have some fluff - but what we want is hard numbers.

3. Mark Bauerlein:

   Their stylistic tics are nonsensical fluff: 'Like ... Like ... Like ...,' sentences punctuated with 'N Stuff,' mindless clichés such as 'Omigod!' and 'Awesome.' In their writing, they aren't much better. Let's be clear about every standardized test score and every survey of teachers and employers: the writing of students and younger workers is a mess.

4. Charlotte Dell:

   It was fluff, but it made me think, `How could that translate to our residents with memory loss?' we're looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day.

5. Nicole Johnson:

   When I'm hosting Thanksgiving, no-bake desserts are my best friend, i know someone I invite will always come through with the pumpkin and apple pies, so I like to make something different with this no-bake raspberry fluff pie.
