Durfing Mormon Slang is a playful term that means kissing—usually a long, close, and affectionate kiss—while fully dressed and without going any further. It’s a light-hearted way Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) talk about staying within the lines of their standards on physical intimacy.
In real life, teens and young adults at church dances or on dates might joke, “We were just durfing,” when friends tease them about spending too long on the porch. It’s not rude or bragging—it’s simply a quick, friendly way to say, “Yes, we kissed, but nothing more serious happened.”
Meaning & Usage Examples
