Muffin worry is a delightfully specific piece of old British slang describing a genteel tea party hosted by and for elderly ladies — the kind of gathering that involves fine china, finger sandwiches, and polite conversation at a volume no one under sixty can hear. The phrase evokes an entire world of Victorian and Edwardian social ritual where the muffin was a key teatime treat and 'worry' was used in the sense of fussing over or attending to something. Affectionately quaint and basically extinct in modern usage.
(slang, idiom, somewhat, vulgar) Of a woman, to masturbate.
