[Brit] to spend your time doing a lot of unimportant things instead of the thing you should be doing
I wish you'd stop faffing about and do something useful!
Sounds like the word applies more to the human type of nut.

We usually call this putzing, or occassionally, fiddling around. But then I was raised in the South, matured in the midwest and back in the South. Don't know which these came from.

The politer form for 'putz' is idiot or fool
The less polite is a target for Viagra
RE: "Faffy"
1. An imaginary figure, mostly to scare small children into doing what they're told ("If you don't eat up your supper, the butz will get you."). --> Thus somebody which should't be taken seriously --> an idiot or fool
2. A small bit of something sticking out, for example the little thing sometimes sticking out at the injection site of injection molded plastic parts --> a target for Viagra?
3. The core housing of certain fruits (apple, pear) containing the seeds, which is usually thrown away, although I know some people who like to eat the apple core.
