Fluff is small, soft, light bits of material — like the bits of fiber that come off a blanket, or the soft fur on a young animal. As a verb, to 'fluff' something (like a pillow or your hair) means to shake or pat it to make it look fuller and softer. 'Fluff' is also used for entertainment or writing that's light, fun, and not very meaningful — 'the movie is pure fluff, but it's fun to watch.' In British English, to 'fluff your lines' means to make a mistake saying something you'd memorized, like in a play.
