"Cuff-links" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Cuff-links are small decorative items worn on a man's shirt cuffs to fasten the cuffs together. They are often made of precious metals, such as gold or silver, or other materials, such as leather or plastic, and may feature decorative engravings, stones, or other ornaments. Cuff-links are typically worn as part of a suit or formal attire and are considered a traditional and elegant accessory for men.
The slang term "cuffing" refers to the practice of trying to find a romantic partner or a casual relationship, usually during the cold winter months or when the weather is poor, in order to be "cozy" or "cuddled up" with someone, often referred to as being "cuffed" to that person. It is often used to describe the desire to be in a relationship during the winter season, typically from November to February, which is often considered the cuffing season.
