By special request, let’s discuss our favourite Classic Music and why?
Times article claim that Waspi women are tone deaf and should read the room
My auntie 83 (late mum's sister) DH died 3 weeks ago.
Funeral was last Friday 28th.
Today one of uncles friends 87 asked her for a date.
As in his words 'life is to short to be on our own '
And it was definitely a date dinner and maybe a dance.

Don’t care what CF means, but please don’t mix this poster up with Wyllow2.

Well I thought I ess doing quite well keeping up with the various definitions of CF and MN etc but now you've completely floored me with a part if the female anatomy that begins with c and ends with y.
Is it me?
Hi Nanny27
Take the four-letter C-word and put a y on the end to change it into an adjective. If you don't know what the four-letter C word is, private message me!!!

It's a term that describes a man who does what men do to a woman -using vulgar words beginning with C and F.
No it isn't!
"Cheeky f****r is a term applied to anyone male, female or otherwise, who does or says something which is generally regarded as too forward or with a sense of entitlement.. One can be called a CF for parking across someone's driveway, for example., or inviting someone to dinner then asking them to pay their share. Nothing to do with sex, necessarily.To clarify further, we more genteel Gransnetters would be more likely to say "Cheeky B****r.
The C is often not "cheeky' but a vulgar word for a part of the female anatomy with y on the end.
😉Well I don't pretend to be an authority on the matter but since the point of the label (CF) is to suggest to someone that what they had done or said was rather impertinent or asking for something beyond what would be deemed acceptable or appropriate, the vulgar substitute you mention just wouldn't work - it wouldn't carry the same connotations as "cheeky beggar", "cheeky blighter" etc. When people talk about "The C word" of course they are referring to that hideous word for female anatomy but this is a completely different context.
BTW (By the way!) I've never seen or heard CF used in the way you report above.
Educate yourself! Plenty are saying exactly the same as me. It's common usage.
I would have said a 'friend with benefits' as opposed to CF, and I did not recognise that meaning given by the OP of those two
letters, and it really seems rather crude.
If pressed, I would say the two letters would mean a 'charity f..k', which is what the uncle might have been looking for? Or perhaps her aunt? I also think some chemical help may be a necessity for such an event!
Oh just someone wanting to shock the unshockable
I can’t be arsed with it all
I ll leave your Aunt to her amorous friend

As a genteel gransnetter you must surely be aware that
Chaucer
Shakespeare
Tennessee Williams
DH Laurence
Samuel Beckett all used that word.
Why does everyone speak in riddles, if there are words you would not use, then don't use them in any form, look at the confusion this has all caused and half of us are none the wiser.
If the OP uses words like that why not spell them out, Why say it is used on Mumsnet, who cares what they do one Mumsnet, this is Gransnet, if we wanted to read what Mumsnet do we would join.
I am on mumsnet as well as gransnet, CF is very common usage, its not meant to be shockable, its quite common.
I really don't care original poster used it and I don't know east all the fuss is about. Some if you wind yourselves up.
Let it go, those who did not know what it meant know now.
What not east
It stands for "cheeky f""ker" and means more or less the same as taking liberties.

Exactly.
A cheeky fucker .....abbreviated to CF .....is just someone who is a chancer or is taking the mick.....its a very common saying where I live....nothing to do with sex ...and nothing to get your knickers in a twist about
Do tell auntie to be cautious. The very same thing happened to my aunt and the very next question from this aged lothario was
‘ Did James (not uncles real name) leave you well provided for ‘
Her reply was
‘Don’t let the door hit you on the way out !!’ Bless her.
Maybe I've been reading too much on GN!
I don’t have any problem with the words Cheeky Fxxxer and would use it myself in full in chatting with someone the only reason I don’t write it in full here is because my post would be removed
What I do have a problem with is initials themselves which unless they are very common like OK or BBC are used either to seem in the ‘incrowd’, or maybe laziness
This thread title was provoking in my opinion hoping to draw people in to say as I did ‘what’s that then’ needing it a be explained to the ‘poor old dear’’
Why not put Cheeky eff or cheeky f or even cheeky xxxxxx in the title instead of CF
Marydoll I too thought of Cystic Fybrosis’
Others might not see it like that, and that’s fine too we re all different
My DM was widowed at 48. She told me, "You'd be surprised at how some of my friends' husbands are ringing up and propositioning me."
She was furious at the way those men seemed to think that they would be doing her a favour.

All this, absolutely.
Quite a few GNers also use MN, which is often a lot more entertaining.
I do sometimes find myself sighing at the levels of prudery on GN. From some GNers, anyway - I’m not tarring everyone with the same brush.

Correct
Hi Outcast 52
Yes I am of course (unfortunately) familiar with the 4 letter C word but have never heard it used with a Y on the end.
Live and learn!
If he was I would be first in the queue. ALLIRA. FROM MARPG
He's right, life is too short, but his timing could have been better.
That said, if your aunt wasn't offended/upset, then no harm done.
Bit cheeky, yes, but if you don't ask, you don't get.

Absolute tosh. It means sly or brazen. The f+-%#@g word in this context doesn’t mean the same as what you’re thinking.
Put the smelling salts away.

This
Men do seem attracted to a widow, either, in my view for a free bonk or to get themselves looked after, house cleaned, clothes washed and meals cooked.In the case mentioned by the OP, he sure is a CF.
