Anyone for Tiffin?

Its a word that has been amusing me for a while and a common 'double entendre' used most frequently in 'Carry on up the Khyber'. 'off for a bit of tiffin' with crys of Kenneth Williams saying something like 'oooh matron, saucy'. M&S have apparently brought the word back in fashion by adding it to their chocolate muffins. Please start using it, just be careful not to add a 'G'. It's quite fashionable in Hong Kong to buy cakes for the office and leave them in a designated place. I wouldn't want anyone sending out an email to the entire office (including their boss) with the message "Tiffing in the usual place, please help yourselves". Oh, and if you don't know what it means, Google it, i'd tell you but I'd blush.
