When we should use the word "Spiffy"?
Do we use that a lot these days? Is "Spiffy" only use in US ?
How about in UK or AUS?
Thank you!

spiffing was word used years ago in england, meaning very good but the word faded out in the mid 20th century.

Like a great many words, spiffy had its heyday a long time ago, and is now, at least in my experience, way out of fashion. Unless youngters are reviving it, which I would not know, I recommend that you give it a pass and find a fashionable word that is more in vogue now.

Spiffy means, good-looking, clean-cut, well-groomed, clean-up and all that good stuff.
