Dafty is a fondly teasing Scottish and Northern English term for someone who acts daft — silly, foolish, a bit goofy, or not entirely in touch with reality.

It has the same warmth as 'numpty' or 'walloper' in Scottish speech — you're not crushing them, you're just gently pointing out that they've been an absolute numskull.
