Are there any areas when a 'normal' gaff could go that high. Seen recently the road I lived in in Sussex 25 years ago is now regularly hitting £1M+
Andrew Gaff (born 16 June 1992) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL).
British / Irish slang for one's home or apartment. "Round at my gaff" = at my place. Slightly blokey register — you'd say it to mates, not your manager. Common in London, Manchester, and Dublin.
"Come round to my gaff later?"
Gaff is British and Irish slang for home or house. "Come back to my gaff" means come to my place. Not concerning, just informal vocabulary. Has nothing to do with the old sense of a fishing hook or theatre slang. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

“Because of the size and shape of the sail, a gaff rig will have running backstays rather than permanent backstays.”
