I think not, in the context. So I will continue to assume that they take the same amusement in my made up words as I do. :D

The dictionary reference was amusing. It misses a third meaning, American, referring to poofy pillows (fluffy, fluffed up) presumably because they go poof (onomatapoeia) when you sit on them or lean on them. By extension, applied to bean-bag style furniture popular in the 70s, so that those large, lumpy bag "chairs" were referred to as poofs.

Also amusing, the google ads on that page came from IKEA. Now what does IKEA have to do with "poof", that's what I want to know.
