poof · sound of something vanishing
interjectionOne way to hold this side of the word: a small puff of smoke goes up, and whatever was there is not there any more. No steps in between, no explanation. The word is really the sound of that puff, and everything in this group is that one sound doing a different job in the sentence.
From the word’s history
The dictionary records this word as onomatopoeic and points to puff, so the sound came first and the meanings grew out of it.
字典把這一邊記為擬聲字，並要讀者參照 puff。也就是說先有那個聲音，意思才從聲音長出來，這跟它今天輕快的語氣剛好對得上。

poof · slur against gay men
nounA separate word that happens to be spelled the same. Here nothing is disappearing: the word is a label thrown at a man to put him down for being gay. It lives in British, Irish and Australian speech, and a reader today usually meets it being reported rather than being used.
