Chuffinelles

The Chuffinelles were an all women band who performed up and down and around Sheffield, England, in the 1980's. They achieved some recognition as a result of their politically charged performances which focussed on poverty, unemployment, and the demise of the British steel industry which was a major employer in the Sheffield area. Hence, Chuffinelles can be used to describe actions by people who make people take notice of the kinds of injuustice that fly past the attention of regular media and are forgotten about, (or so politicians wish). Chuffinelle's origins: Chuff is a local slang word for vagina. Chuffin' 'Ell is equivalent of saying "Fucking Hell"
